Amy's Buttons

 Remember that baggie of buttons Amy gifted me with at Plucky Maidens?  Well good things do, indeed, come in small packages!  There were some neat buttons in there and these are "the good stuff"! You can click the pictures for a closer look.

 I always save carved MOP and unusual shapes.  That square shaped button in the center is actually a flat but is cut in such a way that it looks like a cube.

 The large cream colored button with the gold trim is metal.  I had this button once before but it was rusty.  This one is in perfect condition.  The two white cameo buttons are glass.

I think the little doggie is Bakelite.  The glass rose isn't a button at all, it is a flat-back cab.  It is so pretty I couldn't resist showing it.
Speaking of pretty, did you notice the plate the buttons are sitting on?  My Grandmother bought it in 1922.  That would have been when she was 12 years old.  She turned 103 last Monday.  Go Grandma!
