This is my only Marion Weeber Celluloid button and I am glad to have it. It resembles a basket of fruit and is quite colourful . Her buttons were mainly realistics and quite unique. It has a celluloid shank and measures 3 1/2 cm.

Here are three more basic Celluloid buttons but I love their colours. I have these ones sewn on a banner with many other of similar size and they make quite a nice show. They are all sew through type.

Here are three Celluloid buttons. I love their earthy colours and the geometric designs. The blue and green one just shows that those two colours can be seen together! The black and grey is dramatic and the orange is just a cheery colour.

I love these two Bakelite buttons. They are both really chunky and have carving on them. The colours are jazzy too; the one on the left being an apple juice Bakelite. They are not large for Bakelite buttons and measure 2 1/2 cm and have a metal loop shank.

I wish all button collectors a very Merry Christmas and may 2026 be a year of good health, much happiness and the hope that we find some nice buttons for our collection. These two buttons are ceramic and were given to me by a friend.

I have not had this button for very long and bought it from a lady who had quite a few enamel buttons for sale and it was a good opportunity. I do not think the colours are particularly pretty but it is a little different having open work and a cut steel border. It is reasonably large at just under 3 1/2 cm and has a metal loop shank.

Here are two cross stitched tartan buttons which I made in 2023. They were very fine to do and took quite some time. My friend Jackie gave me the pattern.

These two Vegetable Ivory buttons were made by Bob Benson, USA in 2012. One has a turquoise stone inserted while the other has a fossil. They both have a finely carved and dyed border. They are getting harder to find and have increased greatly in price. The colours are much brighter in reality.

These two blonde horn buttons have both a silver inlay in a floral design and are quite nice. They do not show up so well in the photo. They have a metal loop shank and measure 2 cm. I believe they come from the 19th Century.

Here are six glass buttons of the same design but in different colour schemes and how different that makes them look. They are much brighter in reality. They have a metal four way box shank and measure 2 1/2 cm. I think they may have been made in Czechoslovakia.
