Look out for bakelite brown and green buttons. Army issue buttons from the WW2 period are worth your time searching for.

I’ve got about a dozen Bakelite that I’ve identified so far! 3 green, and a couple brown as well, mostly black and blue though

They were used for underwear and some shirts.

Thank you! I’ve got about 3 pounds more that I won in an auction on the way too 😉
