Carved and Overdyed Bakelite Dog with Bone Button

This is one of a few buttons I made in this vintage bakelite jewelry design featuring a google eyed dog with a bone in its mouth.  The button is carved from bakelite and is dyed a reddish brown color just like the old bakelite pins were.  The dog has a green collar painted with enamel paints and white enamel teeth.  The bone is over-dyed as well.  The button measures 1 1/2 inches at the longest measurement and would be considered a mechanical by NBS standards because of the google eye.  My signature and the date are inscribed on the back side where I carved a self shank.

Price.....$175.00
