This button is unusual with two circles of wound leather thonging. They surround a flower made of I know not what (maybe a plastic of some type) The back is of tin. This button too I guess may have been worn on a leather coat.
LEATHER BUTTON
METAL BUTTONS
These two buttons measure 3 1/2cm so are quite large. I think that they are both made of tin.
Their designs are so different; one being scrolly, the other having lines radiating out from the centre circle. They both have a tin back but the shanks are different.
GLASS BUTTON
This glass button is rather chunky and domed being in an oval shape.
It features s moulded swirly design in a pretty blue on a black base. It measures 3 1/2 cm X 2 1/2cm.
GLASS BUTTONS
These nine buttons are of aqua clear glass with a gold painted geometric design. They are diamond shaped and tiny with a self shank.
METAL PICTURE BUTTON
This button is of tinted brass and shows a man and a lady standing in a doorway.
Whether it represents a story or not I do not know but it is quite a nice button. It measures 3 1/2 cm.
PLASTIC BUTTONS
Here are three old plastic buttons in a lovely pale green colour.
They are a domed shape with a design featuring lines and a circle of holes.
WOODEN BUTTONS
These two wooden buttons are new and were given to me by my friend Di. They have a tree etched into them and are nice in their simplicity of design.
NEW BUTTON
This button comes from China and is really glitzy.
It has chocolate brown enamel work with amber paste stones in a swirly line and a large stone in the centre. It is a highly domed button and the back is rather different too. It measures 3 1/2cm in diameter so is quite big.
GLASS BUTTON
Here is a red glass button of 2 1/2cm in diameter.
It has a beautiful design of two flowers in an oblong shape with an arc of silver lustre lines to one side. It has a sort of Art Deco feel about it. I often think of who must have designed all the thousands of buttons that are available. I think this one is really effective but it doesn’t show it at it’s best in the photo.
LEATHER BUTTONS
Here are three leather buttons which have been impressed with a design. I especially like the one with the horse’s head. They are good quality buttons and all have a metal loop shank.
