Description

Beautiful antique clothing button was probably produced in the 1800s or early 1900s. This is a paperweight style button, which was produced by having a layer of multi-colored glass encased in a clear glass ball. It depicts a series of blue, white and pink flowers. There is a brass loop shank embedded in the back. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact button size. Overall condition: Solid VG+..... The button may have slight surface wear -- but there are no cracks, chips, or other serious flaws. It is in very nice 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
