<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 2854566, member: 111&quot;]Ughhh, I really need to find my box of button books.&nbsp; I believe another member of the forums has &#039;The Big Book of Buttons&#039;, perhaps [USER=50]@say_it_slowly[/USER] - but will say that it&#039;s a very large book, and can take time to look through.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen a few of these buttons over the years, mounted in precious as well as base metal, and forgive me if my memory fails me, but want to say that they date to the late 18th-early 19th century (the &#039;omega&#039; shank on Kyra&#039;s buttons originated around that time, but certainly also used much later).&nbsp; I have not seen jewelry with the feather birds, but the bracelet, aside from the screw-top bezels, reminds me of some Georgian agate bracelets.&nbsp; Sorry - that&#039;s all I&#039;ve got...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Since I was fifteen, Kyra, when my great, great Aunt Karen gave me a huge jar of buttons dating from the late 19th century into the mid 20th - have sold off quite a few, but still have a decent-size collection packed away, haven&#039;t really actively collected for many years.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
