Here is a Button Sales Rep Card displaying buttons for sale in the 1996 – 97 period. Some of the buttons are metal and others plastic. It is interesting to have the years of their production.

I am a fan of Beatrix Potter and have read several books about her life. The Tales of Peter Rabbit was her first children’s book and here is a resin realistic button depicting an illustration in that book. What great detail.

Here is a set of six button covers featuring a cameo ladies head. They were used to “dress up” a plain button by sliding it behind the button and clicking it shut. What an inventive idea. They were very popular in the 1980’s.

These two clear glass buttons have a gold swirly pattern painted on them. They have a self shank and measure a little over 1 1/2 cm.

Here is a modern metalized plastic button with an unusual design. To me it appears to be a modernistic face made with a simple swirly line down the middle of the button. It has several dots around, one appearing as an eye.

This button is metalized plastic which has a pink pearlized plastic disc in the middle. The disc has an undulating pattern which reflects the light. It measures 2 cm.

Here are two lovely tan coloured celluloid buttons. They feature a geometric design of squares in gold which are very striking. They measure 1 1/2 cm.

These two wooden buttons are new and I have just bought them. The bright colours took my eye and I needed a cheer up. They have a really high gloss and measure a little under 2 1/2 cm.

Here is a rather unusual green plastic button which has been squashed in the centre giving it an odd shape. It has a brass flower shaped escutcheon in the middle which forms a loop shank at the back, Lots of buttons aren’t pretty and this one falls into that category but it is certainly different.

This is quite a large wooden button measuring a little under 4 cm. It has a plaid like pattern in red and blue, is dome shaped and has a self shank. I guess it would have to be a coat button.
