Oh, I just love it, but, as a new collector, I have no clue what it is. I'd love it if others would post photos of their favorites, too. Here are a couple of my recent very inexpensive finds in antique stores. The cream colored ones are bakelite and are 1.5 inches across. And the card with pink heart centers are about 1 inch. I just love them, but have no clue what I will do with them. I'm open for suggestions!!!
