About Quigley Buttons...
A collection of ceramic buttons made c.1930’s-40’s from molds of 19C picture buttons.
Photo #3 shows whole collection as I found it.

 From some sleuthing, it appears the original collector whose buttons were used to make the molds for these was Louise D Quigley (1885-1946).
I bought the collection some years ago from Louise's grand daughter.
