Lot of 4 vintage metal buttons or pins -- each has a screw-on back to fasten it to a lapel. I believe that these are all from various curling clubs -- possibly associated with special matches. I know I'm a bit weird, but curling is always one of my favorite sports each time the winter Olympics rolls around. Three of the pin/buttons were issued by the Royal Canadian Curling Club or Toronto, while the other is marked: Toronto Centennial Bonspiel, 1934. The buttons/pins are made of brass, with colorful enameling adding to the design. All have the screw-on pieces. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact sizes. Overall condition: Solid VG+..... There may be mild surface wear, plus they appear to have tarnished a bit with age -- but the pins have no splits, dents, or other more serious flaws. The group is in very nice shape and they will display quite well. 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.
