Set of two vintage 1930s celluloid toggle shank buttons in faux black water buffalo horn. These substantial barrel-shaped toggles feature a deep glossy black base with translucent golden-brown banding around the edges and subtle grain-like patterns that beautifully imitate natural horn—a classic 1930s trick using celluloid, the pioneering early plastic that reached its peak in the interwar years.

Each measures approximately 67 lignes (42.5 mm / 1 3/4 inches) long, with rounded caps and a central toggle slot for cord or bar closure—ideal for heavy coats, overcoats, pea coats, vintage outerwear restorations, or statement projects. Celluloid, introduced in the late 1800s, offered affordable luxury imitation but was later restricted due to flammability (hand wash only, keep away from heat).

In excellent vintage condition: rich color depth, strong sheen, intact structure, and no significant damage—perfect examples of 1930s ingenuity and style.

A standout pair for collectors of early plastics, Art Deco fashion, or anyone restoring period coats—timeless faux horn drama in a practical form!

Measure approximately 67L, 67 lignes, 42.5 mm, or 1 3/4".
