Card of 42 antique glass clothing buttons in various colors and types -- some of which were produced in the swirl back style. I believe that these are all antique buttons of the 1800s or early 1900s. Some of the styles featured are: charm string type, OMEs, paperweight, Popper, kaleidoscope, realistic, capped, painted backs, and layered. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact sizes of the buttons. Overall condition: Solid VG to Excellent..... The buttons may have a bit of surface/edge wear -- but I have noticed no cracks, large chips, or other more serious flaws. The group is overall in very nice shape and it will display beautifully. 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.
