Vintage reverse carved bakelite button

Good morning to everyone, I found in my grandmother's belongings a button which I believe is an applejuice reversed carved bakelite one. Does anybody know how to date it and/or price it? The shank is missing and somebody tried to glue it on, so there is glue on the back. I wonder how to get rid of it without damaging the button.

 

Reminds me of a '40s apple juice reversed carved bangle I had a decade ago. I think a good guess would be 1940s plus or minus.

 

We don't really do values here, but if you check on "Ebay SOLD" under "apple juice reversed carved button" you can get a price range as there are quite a few different ones that sold. I think with the damage yours is not going to be too much. You'd have to get the glue off, replace the shank, and I'm not sure the final value would be worth that trouble. I'm wondering if someone might be interested as a craft piece though. I'd donate it at a minimum if you wind up passing it along. Best of luck.

 

Thank you so much, I appreciate your help.
