Color: Blue, silver
A buttonhook, part of a 12-piece blue enamel dresser set, ca. 1920s. There is a 3 3/4" long handle with sterling silver rim and a blue enamel top and underside, which have a radial-line design emanating from a center point and forming horizontal lines toward the end of the handle. The pull has a grooved and fluted design at the top, but is plain in ornamentation otherwise with the hook at the end. A maker's mark with an engraved "F & B" and "STERLING" are on the outside surface of the handle toward the inner end. In good condition, the artifact has two a scratch-like dent at the toward the outer end of the handle and some fading of silver on the handle.
