Focusing on oceanic buttons this week, here's a leaping barracuda in carved brown Bakelite. Or is this a freshwater trout? Let's just call this a fish and leave it there. Notice the sharp dorsal fin and the carved scales on this interesting creature—as well as the bit of green paint in the mouth and eye. I'm not the greatest fisherman, but this button is a magnificent catch. From the 1930's.
