Celluloid is considered the first plastic. Introduced in 1880, celluloid reached its height between the 1930s and 1955. It was banned from production due to its high flammability.

A whistle button is a vintage button with a single hole on top and two or more holes on the back, designed to protect the thread from wear by recessing it within the button. This construction method hides the thread and has been popular since the 19th century.
