Antique / Vintage bakelite button trio:
~ Set of three big large oversized round bakelite buttons
~ Cherry red, rich emerald green, and a rare true deep dark teal blue that appears to be black until you hold it up to a light source
~ The green and teal blue buttons are semi-transparent and the red button is opaque
~ All 3 have cat's eye or marquise shaped carved inset centers with two sew threw holes
~ Two have the remnants of what they were affixed to and with from a time gone by - I don't have the heart to remove any of it and find it interesting. I will leave for you to enjoy and discard should you decide to
Ready and waiting for your project, sewing room stash, collection, or gift giving - you will love these!

"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
