Here are eight rather nice buttons in a mustard coloured plastic with a white metal central disc featuring a flower design. The loop shank is also of white metal. They measure just on 1 1/2 cm. I got them in Yarragon recently.

Here are three simply designed but rather nice buttons in beige, cream and orange colours with a hexagon design. I do not know their age but guess that they are modern. They are new to my collection.

These two plastic buttons in a bright purple colour are realistic flowers. They were produced by La Mode buttons and made in China. I found them in an opp shop recently so they are new to my collection.

I bought these amber coloured perspex buttons in a market in Yarragon in Gippsland recently. They have gold wire coiled around in the centre. They are quite a common design of the time (post WW2) and were made in several colours.

These two buttons are quite showy with their black and silver. The silver is metalized plastic with a clear plastic “gemstone” in the centre. It is set off by the black plastic surround. They measure 3 cm.

Here is an original Beutron button card with three beaut red tartan buttons. They are a plastic of some sort and have a plastic shank. I think tartan material is embedded in them as you can see the weave of it. I was pleased to find them recently at a market in Yaragon, Gippsland.

I like the pressed plastic buttons of the 1930’s and these are no exception. They are of an orangey/yellow colour with a simple pattern. They are new to my collection.

These three buttons were bought in a market in Yaragon in Gippsland recently. I suggest they are from the 1930’s with their square shape and straight lines, typical of the Art Deco period.

Here are two white metal buttons which I think may be fashion buttons as they have what appears to be a logo on them of which I know nothing about. It would be interesting to know what they represent. They have a loop shank.

Here is another Opp Shop find from my holidays. It is a white metal button picturing a deer in relief. It has had black paint applied and rubbed back making it stand out nicely. It is quite large at just under 3 1/2 cm.
