Card of 30 antique to modern clothing buttons -- Glass / Paste GLITZ Style -- which were produced in various shapes and sizes. These buttons were made during various eras -- some are likely from antique era, some from the vintage era of the mid 1900s, and there may be a few that are more modern. All of the buttons have decorations featuring glass / paste / rhinestones. Some have a moon-glow style look to the glass. All buttons are set in some type of metal, including brass, pot metal, pewter, etc. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact sizes of the buttons. Overall condition: Solid VG+ to Excellent..... Some of the buttons may have tarnished a bit with age, or have light surface wear, but I didn't notice any cracks, chips, missing glass, or other more serious flaws. It is possible that one or two of the tiny paste jewels are missing, but I haven't noticed any. Overall, the group is in very nice shape and will display beautifully. The card-back has seen better days, and it has some definite signs of soiling/wear/handling. 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.
