I Am a Farmer Antique Celluloid Pin Back Button with Brass Frame large wood bowl I find this cafe scene

I find this cafe scene of mother and son pretty charming

) The surface decoration is what makes it special--a bright white slip animated with these great inky blue

with the rope carved in the round as it snakes across the top of the anchor

one of two in the shop that came  from a larger collection of drawings executed by the artist on a Grand Tour encompassing Italy

On the underside is a metal plate which allows it to stay upright on the water (and it does indeed float)

I Am a Farmer Antique Celluloid Pin Back Button with Brass Frame large wood bowl I find this cafe sceneI haven't found another button quite like this one, and what a great one! Very early 20th century I'd think, and in a nice brass mount, which has kept it in great condition. What a perfect gift for your favorite farmer, or to pin proudly to your coveralls before heading out to the garden! Some aging to the brass and to the back side, but still bright and shiny and in great shape. 1 1 2" in diameter.
