    Hi Everyone ! Hope all are happy and healthy. I've been doing great, last exam was cancer-free. :happy: My sisters are not as lucky in the health department, both older than me and I've been spending a lot of quality time with both.
    Anyway...I have a lot of buttons and before I go putting them up as a lot I wanted to ask if anything in here stands out. From my research, most,if not all, are common buttons from Victorian through what looks like the 70's to me. The smaller group are all the glass ones, only because I think they are the prettiest. ;)
    Only a few are marked, no manufacturing names, except for the black faceted glass ones (marked COSTUMA ???) a few 'Japan', and 'PRYM PATENTED'
    TBH, I don't expect anything out of the ordinary, just thought I would post them here before selling them.
    Thanks for any and all help. :kiss: buttons1.jpg buttons2.jpg buttons3.jpg

    Oh was so happy when I saw your avatar pop up! Glad you are back, and what great news. Yay! :singing: As Greg said, you were definitely in our prayers.

    What a cool box of buttons. Nothing jumps out as off hand except for a bunch of fun vintage ones. Someone will love these!

    Hi Pat ! Thank you. I've been reading that thread, learned a lot so far, even stuff about prosthetic eyes. I think I'll put the entire lot up and let them go.
    Thank you for the kind thoughts. (Did I put your name on that avatar many years ago, while on the old eBay board ?

    I'm sorry, I don't remember.
    It was back in 2007ish when I joined the ebay boards. There was someone who was making avatars for people. I thought it was the lady with the big hats, who owned cemeteries. She has passed, and I have been trying to remember her name.
    However, I could be wrong. If it was you, thank you. I still like it a lot, still fits the confusion in my closets that has spilled out into the rest of the house.

    I seem to remember that graphic of the closet. I made tags and avatars for many people on the eBay Miscellaneous and jewelry boards over the years I spent there.

    @Calico
    So it was you who made my avatar? Thank you I still like it.
    However, I wasn't on the Misc. board. I hung out on PGP, Antiques, and Books(lurker). Occasionally the Jewelry board, but not until later.

    Do you remember the lady (and she was a lady), who always had a large hat as an avatar. Changed them out regularly. She never showed a face, the hat always obscured the drawn in face.

    She managed cemeteries.
