MAN PLAYING GUITAR Antique BUTTON, 1 - Piece Brass Open - Work W/ Cut Steel, LARGE
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:24416100 |
Antique clothing button was likely produced in the 1800s. The button features a 1-piece brass open-work design, depicting a kneeling man playing a guitar. The brass button is heavily embossed, and it is decorated by a series of cut steel studs -- both around the outer rim and within the scene. There is a hoop-shaped shank affixed to the back. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact button size. Overall condition: Solid VG+..... The button may have tarnished a bit ...with age, or have slight surface wear -- but there are no cracks, dents, or other more serious flaws. It is in very nice shape and will display quite well. See attached photos for more detail on the condition. ***************************************** PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage buttons. My mom -- Nancy Moran -- was a longtime member of the National Button Society, plus was active in several local button clubs in New York. She is downsizing, so I am helping her sell some of her collection. But I am not familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of button collecting. I try to use various notes she left with the buttons to describe them to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing these items, are not terms I am familiar or experience with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so I use my condition grades in a commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can.
