I added one more pic to the metal button post and white button post above.
LadyDay that button is actually plastic. Hard to tell with a photograph, as Anachronism already mentioned.
FoofooGal, that's a really interesting link. I had no idea they had button competitions. Maybe we can see one of the Loungers compete?
I really like that top right hand yellow button on the previous page. Pretty!

Today's theme for VB: Black Buttons
I know this is circa 1970's but it's still cool:
This is a 1920's button that was attached to a velvet opera coat I liked wearing. However, I couldn't put this button through the buttonhole with gloves on, so I finally changed it to a rigid button.

The next two are the same in the big multi-button photo. These are increased in size so you can see the details.

VB, great buttons! Keep them coming!
Todays theme: Pearl.
Now, I have to say, I dont know if pearl buttons were ever used, as nearly 6-10% of the buttons I find/get/buy in lots are PEARL! The bright side is a lot of pearl was used in the 20s, so the cards from that time have the best graphics.

I haven't the foggiest.
I bought them along with some other sewing supplies at an estate sale. These are pretty, but I'm not terribly fond of long lines of pearl buttons (80s-early 90s flashbacks, I suppose). I may use them in sets of two or three as accents.Featured products

VB's Buttons of the Day: Brown buttons!
The two oval ones in the right hand bottom are bakelite
I think this *may* be the oldest button in my collection; the shank definately appears to be from the pre-1890's; I'd guess the mid-1850's or so. The front is leather.
