I picked up a whole bunch of New Old Stock Buttons recently, most of which are Mother of Pearl. The white buttons on the top row are little hats. The single button on the bottom row is little red riding hood and the wolf.

These are navy blue. I love vintage bukle and button sets. I have a cure green set also and a bunch of random buttons. I just started buying vintage buttons.

 

[Lady Day]

More buttons, yay!

Yay!

I got these from my grandmother this week, I have no idea when they are from, but she kept the buttons when the dresses didnt fit or had to be thrown away for some other reason.

 

[Lady Day]

Beautiful collection there, Bettie. :eusa_clap
I wish I could give you info on dating, but alas, plastic buttons were reproduced at different decades, through different companies for a long time.

The ones to the upper right are wood.

Yay!

I have been running across buttons lately and am amazed at the fabulous little works of Art. I went to wallyworld and cheap plain ones are expensive. I seriously think I have a vintage Confederate button I found today in a jar full I picked up.
It is scaring me as I feel a real obsession coming on. I can understand Lady Day loving them.
I am going to make a nice display of some kind for my grandchildren with the best ones I find.

Those are awesome!!

LD is definitely a button enabler. I can usually get vintage buttons for a project for not much more than they cost in stores, so I do like to seek out nice ones.

I bought the brown ones for a hypothetical project.

 

[Lorena B]

I love the blue ones

 

[Lauren]

Ha! I totally had that second one in my favorites! Glad you got it!

 

[Lady Day]

LD is definitely a button enabler.

Yes, yes I am!
Idledame has seen some of my collection. They are stored in big old overflowing box(s) now. No rhyme or reason, yet.

One more to add to my 'men smoking on button cards' collection.

I think Im up to 8 different cards now.

Yay buttons!

[Lady Day]

I seem to be more selective of the buttons I get now. That, and I havent run across any lots I thought were good enough

Dont know why the cards corners have been lopped off, but the buttons are amazing.

Yay buttons!

So many cute buttons! It reminded me my mother-in-law has lots of these - she finds them in charity shops in London, maybe I should ask her for some!

It may be a silly question (sorry for beig a newbie!) but are vintage buttons resistant? The ones I remember seing at my mother-in-law's home were like these ones:

(I borrowed the image from Lady Day's post, hope that's ok).
