Here are two groups of clear Perspex buttons each with a brass or white metal centre piece which have various designs on them. One even has a horse and rider pictured. They are from the 1950s era.

These two original button cards are in a good condition which is always good. They have nothing written on the back but I guess they may come from U.S.A. I think the one on the left is older than that on the right. They are both 10c so are fairly old. I just enjoy the art work on them; all part of advertising.

Here is an Original Bluebird Pearl Buttons card which was made in U.S.A. It is great to get buttons on their original card especially when it is in good order. I find that the art work is always interesting and this card is no exception. It is also good to see any written work on the back. The art work is nice and colourful too.

Here are three large Bakelite buttons. They have each been nicely carved in a pattern. Many of these chunky carved buttons were in browns and black as must have been a fashionable colour of the day. They each have a metal loop shank.

Here is a bakelite button which has been carved and set in brass. It has a brass cross in the centre. The brass back is quite interesting too with a floral pattern pressed into it.

Here are two modern metal realistic buttons, one being a cat, the other a bee. The cat is of brass and the bee a white metal. They are quite finely made.

This button is modern and is of white metal which has been painted black and rubbed back. It depicts a deer which has been moulded into the metal. It measures nearly 3 1/2 cm so is quite large.

These two metal buttons have been tinted a bright blue. The oval central section is of celluloid with a little blue flower painted on it. They have a japanned back and metal loop shank and measure 13 mm so are reasonably small.

Here is a pair of metal buttons in two sizes. They have a lady with flowing hair like a cameo in white metal which is set into a gold cup. I believe they were made in Italy in 1997. They are very solid and quite heavy.

These two enamel buttons I think are from the 1970s. They have geometric designs and are of brilliant colours which stand out from the gilt outlines. They are well made and quite heavy.
