These Perspex buttons also have a metalized plastic flower in the centre. They have been painted gold on the back which shows through to the front giving a good effect. They are just on 2 1/2 cm.
PERSPEX BUTTON
BUTTON BRACELET
This bracelet was a gift to me from some button friends. It combines buttons and scrabble tiles spelling the word buttons. I have used it several times when giving a button display at a function. It is rather unique.
PLASTIC BUTTON
This button was given to me by a lady from South Africa. It is rather unusual with a floral design on the front and an impressed geometric design on the back. It is a mottley apricot colour. I find it fascinating.
MOTHER OF PEARL BUTTON
I belong to a small button collecting group and each November we have our Xmas windup and swap a button to the value of $5.
This button was one of my gifts and I really like it. It is a MOP button showing a little girl with a red watering can. I guess it is transfer printed and it is just so cute. It was made in France.
BUTTON HOOK AND BOOT BUTTONS
Here is a button hook which I have just purchased. It has a bone handle. Also shown are some boot buttons; the button hook was used to do them up. They are probably from the early 1900’s.
STUDIO BUTTON
This button was made by F. Rossi from U.S.A. in 2010.
It is of Balsa wood and carved in the form of an owl. It has a simple charm about it. It measures a little over 2 1/2 cm.
PASTE BUTTONS
Here are two groups of Paste buttons with various shapes and sizes. One button incorporates pearls as well as the glass. Some are set in gold and some in silver metal.
GLASS AND METAL BUTTON
This button has a disc of black glass with a floral design impressed into it and gold lustre added. It has been set into a floral border of white metal and is quite different.
NEEDLECASE
This needlecase is colourful and by the note inside it was made in the 1930’s. It is nice to still have the note which is written in ink. It was made in England as many in a similar style were done back then.
PASTE BUTTONS
Here are two different paste buttons, one having clear glass set in white metal in a star shape. The other has clear and blue glass and has been claw set.
