I NOW HAVE 66 LOTS OF OLD AND VERY OLD CELLULOID, CLOTH (AND OTHER MATERIALS) BUTTONS TO LIST. THEY RANGE IN AGE FROM ROUGHLY 1890 - 1940, BUT MOST ARE FROM 1900-1925 (OR SO). ALL BUT ONE SINGLE BUTTON (#66) ARE ALL FROM ONE COLLECTION. THESE ARE THE NICEST (CONDITION) BUTTONS OF THEIR AGES THAT I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. ALSO, THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF VARIETY IN THESE, INCLUDING: INTERNATIONAL ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS, MASONIC/SHRINERS, UNIONS, WAR RELATED, RED CROSS, FLT, FOE, TOBACCO, SLOGANS, ADVERTISING, GOV'T AND LOTS-LOTS MORE. ALL ARE FROM A NON-SMOKING ESTATE. MANY OF THESE HAVE NEAR MINT CONDITION FRONTS, EVEN FOR 100 YEARS OF AGE. NEARLY ALL HAVE AT LEAST SOME RUST ON THEIR BACKS (ALL SHOWN WITH MULTIPLE ANGLES AND LIGHT SOURCES). A FEW ARE MISSING THEIR ACTUAL PINS ON THEIR BACKS, SO PLEASE LOOK THEM OVER, IN CASE I FAIL TO MENTION THAT ON ANY GIVEN BUTTONS. A VERY FEW HAVE STAINS ON THEM, WHICH ARE SHOWN WITH EXTRA PHOTOS. THEY COME IN A VARIETY OF SIZES AS WELL, ALL SHOWN NEXT TO A QUARTER TO GIVE AN IDEA OF SCALE. (A QUICK COMMERCIAL)...
