Here are two metalized plastic buttons. They have a very decorative flower design and feature three plastic “gemstones” in a greyish colour. They are quite different.

Here are three white glass buttons all with a painted floral decoration. They all have a self shank.

These buttons are made of resin and I purchased them as a memento in a shop in Tasmania not so long ago. They picture Corn, Eggplant, Tomato and Pumpkin and are really more of a craft button. They are just a bit of fun.

Here are two Celluloid buckles in Autumn tonings. The green one is rather plain and the orange one has an Art Deco influence.

This is a modern button made of tin. The design is nicely incised into the surface. I do not know what significance the shield and helmet hold but it is rather a nice button. It has a tin back.

I bought this silver button recently at The Cobram Antique Fair. The design is rather busy and has a heart incorporated in it. It is backmarked GES VW GESCH and measures 2 1/4cm and has a loop shank.

I have just recently got these two wooden buttons at a Spinners and Weavers Display day. They are large at 6 cm. one having a design etched into it and the other one printed on. I love wood and they just appealed to me ( and I just had to buy something didn’t I !!! )

This group of buttons are from 1990’s onwards. I got them all at Opp shops over a period of a few years. They are metalized plastic in silver or gold with coloured trim of various types and sizes. They are rather glitzy and certainly stand out.

This black glass button was made in Czechoslovakia. It is a modern button and features Pegassis the Mythological Flying Horse. It has several colours accompanying the gold lustre. It measures a little over 2 1/2cm and has a self shank.

These two cute buttons are made from Fimo Clay. They are lovely contrasting bright colours and finely made. I have them displayed on a banner of different Novelty buttons.
