Vtg 1930s Lot of 6 Carved Faceted Cherry Red Bakelite Buttons Tested 19mm 15g For Sale

Unlock an exceptional opportunity for high-end fashion designers, historic textile conservators, and antique garment restorers with this magnificent matching estate lot of 6 vintage 1930s Art Deco cherry red carved and faceted self-shank Bakelite sewing buttons. Personally verified using the industry-standard Simichrome chemical reaction polish rub, these authentic mid-century phenolic resin pieces pass with flying colors, leaving behind the classic dark yellow nicotine tarnish signature on tissue test strips to document their 100% genuine vintage provenance. The collection features a highly desirable, curated variety splitting cleanly into three geometric multi-faceted angular buttons and three round buttons deeply detailed with primitive hand-carved concentric corn or beehive grooved channels.

Reflecting an elite tier of traditional 1930s haberdashery utility, each button is engineered with an integrated back tunnel self-shank carved directly out of the plastic resin base, keeping the front decorative faces completely clean and stitch-hole free. The material exhibits that iconic, deeply saturated dark cherry red or translucent oxblood colorway that made vintage Bakelite globally famous, flashing with brilliant inner clarity when backlit and delivering that unmistakable organic musical "clack" sound when tapped together on a sorting layout. Sizing quality-control checks confirm large, chunky coat accent dimensions, with multi-photo tape checks measuring approximately 19mm or 3/4-inch in individual diameter, yielding a dense combined digital mass of 15.29 grams for the 6-piece grouping. Highly versatile for executing professional restorations on broken Art Deco winter coats, fabricating custom button jewelry bracelets, or storing standalone inside a museum curio display box. The buttons land in excellent vintage condition, maintaining a gorgeous high-luster factory polish across all exterior planes, entirely free of post-production impact fractures, structural flat-spot crushing, deep gouges, edge chipping, or warehouse storage shadows. Please check all detailed digital scale readouts, tissue test verification animations, and sizing comparisons inside your active upload stream to evaluate specific historic material properties before final checkout.
