Here are three modern glass buttons made in Czechoslovakia. They each are of a rich colour and feature a horse in gold lustre. They are quite large at 3 1/2 cm.

Here is a metal picture button depicting a tree dividing the button in half. There is a windmill on one side and a building on the other. It measures 2 1/2cm. It is called The Charter Oak Tree.

These six thread buttons are so fine with their delicate design of criss cross threads. The back is a cover of cotton fabric. They measure just under 2 cm.

This is a varied group of small metal buttons. One is a mirror back, one has a pearl insert and one has a tiny brass hand holding a flower. They are all quite decorative and make a nice group.

Here are two wooden buttons of the same design but different colours. They are concave shape with a metal flower shaped escutcheon in the centre. They measure 3 1/2 cm. I guess they would have been an overcoat button.
