I love having a large lot of buttons to pick through. This grouping had all kinds of buttons including pictures, storybook, twinkles, pressed pewter, Czech glass, waistcoat, black glass, plain brass, mother of pearl & velvet perfume buttons.

3rd picture from the top is a storybook button with a design known as the "Easter Boat Ride."  It depicts 2 birds towing a 1/2 shell boat with 2 figures inside.

Several, like the navy twinkle buttons & those with a strawberry design have worked their way into bracelets, while others have been sold.

Antique buttons with designs of plant life, unused, on their original cards. The top 2 images are of black glass buttons, the others are metal picture buttons.
