<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9720294, member: 2844&quot;]And the photos!</p><p>There are two options, Spanish and Maltese. As the last text explains, the buttons as such are the same, only the toggle construction is different. Since your buttons don&#039;t have toggles, it is (almost) impossible to tell the difference.</p><p>The small size is used more in Malta, so that could be a clue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both Spanish and Maltese buttons have a connection with the UK. Malta was British for a while and the buttons were sold as souvenirs, and as it says in the first text, Spanish buttons were exported to the UK in great quantities for 19th century button jewellery.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]471868[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471871[/ATTACH]</p><p>From: A Collectors Guide to Peasant Silver Buttons, by Jane Perry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
