Spring Button Auction Day 1
Lot 2205:
Description
Someone asked for more info on the GW button – it is a repro I have added a photo of the back. This collection of buttons is presented across several themed display cards, including categories for gentleman’s buttons, fables, habitat, and political usage. The grouping features a diverse range of materials and techniques, such as pressed wood, black glass with iridescent or mother-of-pearl centers, brass, and silver-toned metals. Notable pieces include a brass-toned GW button inscribed LONG LIVE THE PRESIDENT, a large pressed wood button depicting the Fox and the Stork fable, and a three-dimensional habitat studio button by Du Bois depicting a miniature marine scene with a seahorse and starfish. Several buttons bear manufacturer markings, including H.T. & SONS BIRM and H&L PHA & NY. Also included is a silver-toned commemorative button for the 200th anniversary of the 1787 Northwest Ordinance from the Buckeye State Button Society. The items are mounted on organized collector’s cards. Pick up is Friday, March 13 from 10 am to 4 pm at our gallery in Lancaster, Ohio 43130 or we will provide in-house shipping for this item.
