44L Pink Swimsuit 1950-60s Kiddie Novelty Button 1 1/8"

This vintage pink floral one-piece swimsuit kiddie novelty realistic shank button (with narrow shoulder straps, a fitted bodice, and an all-over raised molded floral pattern of daisies or similar blooms covering the suit for a textured, lacy effect.

Measures approximately 44 lignes (44L), which equals about 28 mm or 1 7/64 inches (close to 1 1/8").

It was made in the 1950s to early 1960s, during the peak of whimsical molded plastic novelty buttons for children's clothing. This post-war boom time featured playful, realistic motifs inspired by everyday or seasonal themes like summer beachwear.

The detailed raised molding (flowers throughout the body, defined straps, and realistic suit silhouette) plus the high-profile integral self-shank (molded plastic loop, no metal) are hallmarks of quality 1950s-1960s novelties—more intricate than flatter, later styles.

The material is molded plastic, a durable thermoplastic (likely acetate, early acrylic, or similar glossy non-flammable synthetic that replaced celluloid after the 1940s), in a soft pastel pink with uniform color and crisp raised floral texture—no applied paint, which ensures the design holds up well over time.

This was produced in the United States, where manufacturers mass-produced fun, themed kiddie buttons during the baby boom era. This larger 44L size and specific swimsuit-with-flowers motif is a scarce design, adding to its appeal for collectors of beachy or girly kiddie themes.

A sweet, summery gem—perfect for beach-themed vintage collections or baby garment recreations!
