I love the old Bakelite buttons, especially the carved ones. I also love the ones with metal escutcheons none of which are in this particular photo. Here is a nice group I have ready to card up for display.
BAKELITE BUTTONS
CELLULOID BUTTONS
These buttons are very effective with their colours of bluey/green and yellow. Their design has a sort of geometric flavour.
CELLULOID BUCKLE
This buckle is made of Celluloid in a light green colour. The decoration in red, green and black is in the Art Deco style. I would certainly enhance a dress belt in the 1930’s era.
PLASTIC BUCKLE
This black buckle is of pressed plastic with a floral design around the edge. It is quite decorative and would make a nice addition to a dress belt.
ANOTHER OPP SHOP FIND
This opp shop find is modern with a scribbled line on a plain back of white metal. It is quite artistic in it’s way.
OPP SHOP FINDS
These four plastic tubular shaped buttons are just a bit different with the metalized plastic decorative trim and attached shank. They are just over 1 1/2cm in length.
