S133 9/16. The Lightner Museum in St. Augustine was clearing out some of their collections of buttons and I was fortunate enough to get a number of them for my collection. This is a fine example of a floral design with a tooth edge to set it off. It is a Rose nestled in a swirl of leaves. It would be best in the Civil War era or even with modern clothing.
Size is 9/16″. Floral with ragged edge.
147 is tiny button, and they are small 5/16″. Some folks use them for doll’s clothing. Yet they are still good for a high collar and shirt collar buttons. The Britannia pewter will stand the time.
144: St Andrew is a square on the point. A copy of an old button. Size is 3/4″ This is a heavy button and up to many tasks.

The raised dots give this button a strong look. #134 is the stud button. It is only 1/2″ in size but it can look very dramatic in a line or group. Good for areas that require a small button.
