We bought an Amazing Antique/Vintage Button Collection
People always want to know where we find our buttons. There are a number of sources, but once in a while we make an amazing discovery. We found an old collection of buttons spanning 1900 to around 1950s. For us, the buttons are breath taking. We have started work on conservation, cleaning and getting these buttons ready to pass on to you!
Button Collector Cards going back into the 1970’s
Button Collectors display their buttons on themed cards. The cards in this collection were mounted in the late 70s to the early 80s. The buttons will be removed from the cards, cleaned and readied for sale. There are so many amazing buttons on these cards. We look forward to sharing them with you.
Amazing selection of unusual buttons from the early 20th Century.
The buttons are really unusual. There are a number of buttons that we just haven’t seen before. Some we have read about, others are a complete surprise. The button to the left is a bird twinkle. But there are so many more that were delightful surprises. Watch for new posts in metals, mother of pearl, Bakelite, hump shank and gay 90s.
A tub full of wonderful finds: Lots of Glass,Colts, Early Plastics, Rhinestones and Mother of Pearl
The majority of the collection was taken out of old containers and put in a giant storage tub. Can you imagine getting to sort through thousands of vintage and antique buttons. It was so much fun except taking threads off of buttons! It took me two weeks and am now in the process of sorting by material.
