LEO POPPER BUTTONS

These lovely small  glass buttons were made in USA by Leo  Popper & Sons in the late 1890’s or up until 1915.  They are the only three that I have in my collection.  They are always colourful and glitt ery in the Button books.  They have a metal loop shank.  The yellow one was a real find for me as I rummaged in a small dish of dirty old buttons in a junk shop and for $2 got it and a few old plastic buttons.  I didn’t know at the time exactly what it was but knew it was glass.  When I got out of the shop I couldn’t stop smiling.
