    Description

    Up for consideration are vintage (older/newer?) plastic used buttons.   The buttons are in used condition with surface wear from use or storage.     Please review the photos for more details and contact me if you have any questions.  Happy sewing, collecting or crafting:)!
    1. Large 1 7/8" Bulls Eye w/ possibly a bakelite base, ring of abalone shell in the middle and a moonstone (?) center.  The center pieces shift back and forth a bit on the shank. The metal shank is bent and there is surface wear/dings with a dicolored area on the side.
    2. Two 3/4" amber colored gum drop shaped buttons w/ metal shanks (one bent). Surface wear.
    3. One large 1 3/8" floral w/ glass (?) stones and a shank and 3 2-hole 5/8" buttons. They appear to be of the same amber colored plastic material.  Soiled and possibly discolored.
    4. Two Umbrella like buttons measuring about 1 1/2" W x 1/2"H.  They have 3 tiers: black bottom, marbled amber color (catalin material?) in the middle and black domed top.  They have metal shanks. Some surface wear.
    5. Two 1 1/2" pearly ivory colored leaf/floral design plastic buttons with a plastic shank.  Labelled Japan.
    I will be selling a variety of family clothing buttons accumulated by 3 generations or more of sewers in my family (at least one generation prior to my mother, my mother and my sister).  Some buttons are from discarded clothing and others are new with some carded.  I am listing them under the vintage category since I am not sure of the age.
    PLEASE NOTE:
    I am NOT an expert on buttons and I am not familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of button collecting.  I have a hard time identifying the material and may have some plastic with glass or other mix ups. These buttons were thriftily saved by generations of sewers and used for that purpose.  So please refer to the images for details and contact me if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them.  I will also be listing other sewing items such as thread, zippers, notions, etc. over the next few months.   Thank you for looking!
    I will be happy to
    combine shipping but PLEASE contact me before paying
