[QUOTE="trip98, post: 9828308, member: 65"]Nice vintage lot (few antique ones). I don't see any stand alone exceptional buttons, but I haven't sold any buttons in a few years..so my experience might be outdated. I would separate by material and sell most in lots. Millitary buttons are sellable. Third photo: the brown lot strung on string look like bakelite. Super tiny MOP or glass buttons are sellable to doll collectors. Check the black "plastic" buttons for Goodyear marks or if made of horn. Looks like you have a few carved Tagua nut (vegetable ivory) buttons. The bag of brown buttons look like coconut husk. Check the thimbles for sterling and/or advertising Needle cards are sold for the graphics[/QUOTE]
