I have a fondness for Celluloid back buttons. This one has a background of black and cream celluloid with a circle of clear glass stones in the middle. The metal border is very effective. It has a Japanned back and metal loop shank.

This card of buttons is a button sales rep card and displays buttons available for sale. It is from the year 1998 and the buttons are all plastic or metalized plastic. I think Vincona is an Australian Company. The prices range from 40cents to $3 per button.

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.
