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.
