Celluloid Bamboo Button

Celluloid Bamboo Button

Here's something you don't see every day. When I first picked up this button, I thought it was bamboo. It is very realistic.

On closer inspection, I see it is plastic. (I believe it's celluloid, though I can't swear to it.) It measures an inch and a half in length, and about 3/8" in diameter. As always, click the photo for more views.

Yours for $4.95

Butterscotch Rope Button

Butterscotch Rope Button

Here's a lovely old plastic button. The front is molded to resemble interwoven rope (or yarn). It is a big 1 1/8" in diameter, and when held to the light you can see through it a bit.

The color is a yummy rich butterscotch orange. This would be perfect as a handbag closure.

All for $5.95
