Multi - Material Antique BUTTON, 1800s Brass, Glass, Galena, W/ Painted Detail
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:3812719 |
Antique clothing button was likely produced in the 1800s. The button features a central milk glass piece which is surrounded by a band of Galena -- a sparkly gem stone material. There is a brass rim around the outside, and of this is all set in a tin backing. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact button size. Overall condition: Solid VG/VG+..... There is some light corrosion on the tin-back portion or the button, but this is not visib...le on the decorative side. The button may also have tarnished a bit with age or have light surface/paint wear -- but there are no cracks, chips, or other more serious flaws. Overall, it is in nice shape and it will display 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 experienced 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.
