THE BUTTON QUEEN SHOP – LONDON

My friend Olwyn bought these buttons at The Button Queen Shop in London in 2011.  She is not a collector yet always finds some interesting ones for me and asks them to write some details on the cards .  We have a day of reckoning when she comes home.

No. 1  This is a silver button with a simple floral design on a square shape.  It is backmarked  Made in Deccan and has a Trade Mark.  It is circa 1900.

No. 2  This button pictures The Duchess of Devonshire.  It is a high relief moulded button and is a 1940’s reproduction of a 19th Century button.

No. 3  These are reverse cut and painted perspex buttons from the 1930’s.   I have shown both back and front.
