While on the subject, here are a few more “new”buttons from my collection. They are so different from the buttons made a Century ago.
The buttons at No. 3 appear to have bits of grass or seeds embedded in them which is very interesting. In the 19th Century they made “Habitat”buttons with bits of grass, feathers or insects etc. mounted under glass or clear Celluloid. I do not have one but when I saw these new buttons it made me think of those I had seen in books.
The orange and cream buttons seem to be pressed or moulded with a floral design. The other three buttons I think may have been done with a laser, once more in a floral design.
