Pure Prystal


Prystal, a transparent variation of Bakelite, is an interesting subcategory of the famously charming plastic. Here are three examples of Prystal buttons: 1. a chunky drum in a bright shade of red that I like to call cherry juice. 2. an apple juice "trinket button" in the shape of a bowling pin. 3. a large and glowingly rare orange button (and the only example of orange Prystal that I've ever seen, courtesy of my friend Doreen). All of these buttons exude a shimmering clearness. They are extraordinary.
