[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 204966, member: 111"]I'm at a bit of a loss because all my button books are packed away (seem to recall that someone else here also has the 'Big Book of Buttons') - but will say that these seem to be very detailed and well made, from what I can see on my phone, having a soldered wire shank, not something I'd expect to see on a modern button. This is one of Charles Pillet's designs, and the thought occurs to me that they might even be uniface medallions converted to buttons, but there is certainly the possibility that they were originally buttons. They're very nice, even with the wear... What is their size in millimeters? ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
