Bakelite Buttons

The colors are off in this scan. The third row first button is actually a dark green and so is the one at the end that kind of looks like a flower. I'm not really big on baklite, but it was interesting to play with the scrubbing bubbles and see which buttons were bakelite and which were not.

I was reading the discussion on the button list about how bakelite changes color over time, which makes me wonder about the original color of each of these buttons!

I have two of the medium size ones with flakes. Anyone want to trade for some calicos?
