What's my most colorful button? Probably this one. A six-toned daisy, it features five petals made of Bakelite that were glued to a yellow disk (and you can see some of the gluey residue on the red petal). The yellow disk is most visible between the black and orange petals. At the very center of the button, a creamed corn dome (made of Bakelite) brings all of the petals together. My friend Doreen sold me this large button last summer. It likely goes back to the 1930's. A varicolored treasure!
