    So they were free for me!
    I believe the buckles are shoe buckles. The rounded pair looks like its from end 18th/start 19 th century. The others might be a bit younger, but I m no expert.
    I absolutely adore the four flower buttons! I think they are 19th century.
    They match exactly with my flemish flowers! (Last picture)
    And what do you say about the tiny rock crystal manchette button in the middle?
    I love that one!
    I really do believe that is 18th century.
    Any ideas about what I can do with it? Since I dont think its practical to own just one manchette button. :cat:
    Convert in a ring maybe?
    Have a good day!

    Yay!!!:singing: And a nice haul, you lucky girl.:happy:
    So do I.
    It is both sweet and gorgeous. It lends itself to a ring, so go for it.:)

    Nice haul. I especially like the one upper left in your last photo. Is it a small brooch? It seems really finely made. :)
