Here is an old plastic realistic hat button.
It is decorated with some coloured flowers and has a sort of Tyrolean look about it. I think these were made in various colour combinations but this is my only one.
PLASTIC BUTTON
ENAMELLED BUTTON – MODERN
This button is enamelled brass and has a modern design in purple, red and green which is a little different. I actually have three of them.
I bought them at an opp shop and was pleased to find them. They are 2 cm in diameter.
GLASS AND BRASS BUTTON
This button has a disc of white glass set into a brass cup.
The glass has a textured surface ( there is a name for this type of which I do not know ) and flowers painted on it which are a little worn. It resembles Petit Point stitchery ) It is really pretty anyway. It measures a little over 2 cm.
OLD PLASTIC BUTTONS
I think these two buttons may be Bakelite and from the 1940’s.
They both have a metal centre; one a spiral pattern and the other floral. They are domed and measure 3 cm The backs are rather interesting.
