Vintage 6-sided glass buttons with painted roses-21 of 'em-are so beautiful!

Collectibles:Buttons:Atq:Glass:Blown Glass:Glass Shanks:Purple:Lavender
These six antique lavender-purple blown glass buttons will blow you away! As you can see from the pix, depending on how much light they're catching, they go from pale lavender to a deep royal purple--although a couple of them ARE more purple no matter what the light, and one (the 3rd from the left on the pic where the shank isn't visible) is noticeably more purple but only on one side.

$16 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Groovy vintage set of three flower power celluloid buttons FREE U.S. SHIPPING!

Collectibles:Buttons:Celluloid:Flowers:Floral:Humpback Shank:Hump Back Shank
Vintage set of three celluloid buttons totally remind me of the 1960s flower power pins and such, except that these buttons of course are much older than that. A harbinger of things to come, perhaps? What's especially cool (and hopefully I've captured it for you in the pic of the single button) is how one edge of each petal near the raspberry colored center is beveled, creating a dimensional "frame" for the center. Fabulous! Each button measures 1-3/8" across, has a humpback shank, and domes up ...

Condition is very good--one (the center one in the pix) is ever so slightly lighter in color on the outer border, and one (bottom right) has a little boo-boo in the center part, but neither of these detracts from the overall beauty of this set. Light in weight but heavy in looks--what's not to like? ...

Five vintage bakelite buttons--3 black and a mother-daughter set of brown--have the prettiest scalloped edge and would be perfect for that "flowery" touch.

Black ones are 1/16" thick and browns are 3/32". Condition overall is exactly what you'd expect from old bakelite. The exception is the larger brown one that has a ...

Wow, these vintage bakelite buttons would really add some zing to an otherwise blah garment, wouldn't they?

They're a good size too, measuring 1-1/16" across, and are in excellent vintage condition given their age. The light spots seen on the back are from a goopy glue--when I found these lovelies they were glued onto something (I can't even remember what it was now), which normally I don't really approve of, but the glue had the effect of protecting the always fragile glass from chips ...

Collectibles:Buttons:Brass:Metal:Mirrored:Two Piece:Set Of 15:Metal Hump Shank
These vintage metal 2-pc. buttons, which came to me all tied up with an old natty string (see pic 4), are some of those buttons you run across that at first blush don't seem like much but on closer inspection are way more wOw than they first appear to be. Brass pie crust outers with faux mirror centers emit a kind of smoky gray rhinestone glitter that makes them really pop, even as dusty as they are, but then I took a Q-tip to two of them and dusted them off, and ...who knew!?
