Here is a black octagon shaped bakelite button. It has a realistic brass leaf adorning it which is very showy. It is a chunky button and has a metal loop shank. It is new to my collection.

Here is a modern metal button which has been enamelled in black. The central decoration has red, green and yellow trim with an imitation clear glass stone in the middle. It is quite a striking button.

La Mode Textures is the brand of this Ceramic button which was made in China. I bought it in 2004. La Mode buttons are The Fashion Choice since 1877 and made for Blumenthal Lansing Co. of USA. That is what it states on the back of the card.

Here is an original button card with two enamel buttons. They depict The Queen of Hearts and are quite colourful. Being rectangular shaped makes them just a bit different. I do not know their age but guess maybe the 1970’s !

This enamel button has a simple geometric design in the colours of blue and black. It has a brass base which is common in enamelled buttons. It measures 2 cm.

Here are two Beutron delights cards of plastic buttons. Their designs are very modern, one with a red theme, the other black and white. The red ones have a sort of Japanese look about them I think. They were made in Thailand and were bought in 2007.

Here is a pretty metalized plastic button with a plastic disc in the centre. It is painted with delicate pink and green in a floral design on a white ground and almost looks like fabric. The shank is of white plastic. It is a modern button.

Here is a striking bonnet designed button. It has a black enamelled brim and pearlized plastic crown. The gold bow just sets it off nicely. It measures 3 1/2cm so is quite large.

These five buttons come from the 2009 period. They imitate millefiori glass buttons and are set in a white metal cup with a loop shank. They measure 1 1/2 cm.
