<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FlyingButtonRanch, post: 56507, member: 582&quot;]@ Gregg:&nbsp; Buttons are a funny thing.&nbsp; It drives dealers nutz trying to figure out what we&#039;ll buy.&nbsp; For military and police buttons, it&#039;s all about the Age/Country/State/Manufacturer Marks.&nbsp; There are a zillion police buttons from the 1970&#039;s out there.&nbsp; Save them up, and throw them in a button lot or jewelry lot you list on FleaBay some day for some extra metal sparkle and zing?&nbsp; LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>@ Bookahtoo:&nbsp; Thanks for reading the blog!&nbsp; A black glass spider/web is a great button!&nbsp; I display my buttons pretty much the same as what you saw on the blog (my black glass entry is on that page).&nbsp; They sell templates to make nice arraignments in patterns, but you can just figure out a pattern that&#039;s pleasing yourself.&nbsp; We use coated thin phone wire, loop it through the shanks, then punch holes with a sharp metal awl in a piece of mat board (button collectors use 9&quot;x12&quot;). We wind the wire around the back of the board to secure them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m having trouble figuring out the picture thing here.&nbsp; So hopefully this link works right. This is a fun theme entry I did for Identifiable Comic and Characters (and one of my favorite pictorial sections for collecting).&nbsp; It was a 1st Place tray.&nbsp; Use the magnifying glass above to enlarge for detail.&nbsp;&nbsp; (<a href="https://plus.google.com/photos/102862607896379931772/albums/5765566823156185041/6147231182360192354?banner=pwa&amp;authkey=CMXsn-SEuPWpmgE&amp;pid=6147231182360192354&amp;oid=102862607896379931772" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://plus.google.com/photos/102862607896379931772/albums/5765566823156185041/6147231182360192354?banner=pwa&amp;authkey=CMXsn-SEuPWpmgE&amp;pid=6147231182360192354&amp;oid=102862607896379931772" rel="nofollow">LINK</a>)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
