Card of 25 antique to modern clothing buttons were mainly produced in the 1800s or early 1900s -- although there are also a few newer examples mixed in. All feature heads of one kind, or another. The buttons are made of various materials, including: glass, porcelain, plastic, wood, bovine bone, horn, Duranoid, Vegetable ivory, brass and other metals. Some of the different styles featured are: lithograph, painted, molded, carved, scrimshaw, etched, OME, and more. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact sizes of the buttons. Overall condition: VG to Excellent..... Some of the buttons may have tarnished a bit with age, or have light surface wear / edge dings -- but I have noticed no breaks, large chips, or other more serious flaws. The buttons are overall in very nice shape and the card 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 experience 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.
