You are bidding on a vintage 1950s lot of 6 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 in square buttons. This set is painted gold, and has 2 holes in the center for attaching these to your outfit or costume. They are ceramic or plaster, no sure what you would say about them. They are in excellent unused condition, with no paint loss, chips, cracks or crazing. They were never used, and are in beautiful condition. These were part of the collection of buttons that a seamstress in Los Angeles from the 1930s-1970s had accumulated and used for her work. It appears that she got most of her buttons from Lidz Brothers Button and Novelties in New York City. These are great pieces, and ready for any creation, so bid on these today! I am selling a large variety of mother of pearl (matching ones to this set in different sizes), bakelite, celluloid?, acrylic, carved, painted, glass, metal, and many other types of buttons this weeks and in coming weeks, so check out my other auctions, or ask me if I might have something you are looking for! If buying more than one item from this seller or requesting additional shipping services, please wait for a revised shipping total before purchasing. Good luck!
