Description

Beautiful clothing button was probably produced in the latter part of the 1900s. This is a studio button which does not seem to have been signed, but my mom had it marked as being produced by Peter Ben. This is a paperweight style button, which was produced by have a layer of clear glass, covering an inner section of multi-colored glass. This button features a flower like insignia at the center, surrounded by a white and red outer section, which has a sort of pinwheel design. There are also a few air bubbles in the glass. It has a metal shank embedded on the back. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact button size. Overall condition: Excellent..... The button may have slight surface wear -- but there are no cracks, chips, or other serious flaws. It is in great shape and it will display beautifully. See attached photos for more detail on the condition. ***************************************** PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage buttons. My mom -- Nancy Moran -- was a longtime member of the National Button Society, plus was active in several local button clubs in New York. She is downsizing, so I am helping her sell some of her collection. But I am not familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of button collecting. I try to use various notes she left with the buttons to describe them to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing these items, are not terms I am familiar or experienced with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so I use my condition grades in a commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
