Here are two hand painted plastic buttons by Edith and Alan Brooks, England from the 1960s. They are so precisely done and simple in their design but very effective. They are the only two I have in my collection. I have seen some really lovely ones on the net and they are quite expensive now. I love their bright colours, freshness and clarity.

Here are three modern plastic buttons, all black with another colour incorporated in their design. They are all striking and I think the black contrast does that. I especially like the middle one.

This metal picture button shows a building; I think it is called Italian Villa. It has a very ornate border under which is a shiny silver metal ring. The button is much nicer in reality and measures 3 1/2 cm.

These two metal buttons are modern. one being gold and the other white metal. They are realistics and nicely made with good detail and not very big.

Here are three Celluloid Back buttons all in a Neutral shade, the metal trim different on each one. I like this type of button and have a few in my collection. Carol, I am not sure if this is working but I may be on the air again!
