Any idea what sort of button this is?

Removed for each memorial, independence and Veterans Day then returned back to the card and kept in my grandmothers jewelry box.
It only allowed me one pic so I will make a new post using the back of the card with its information first.

I found a button in a new bag I received, and I can’t figure out the initials. Any ideas?

I can’t figure out how to add a pic of back, but it’s metal with a squared off attached shank on the back. Metal back is inset to front.

They are so cute !!

Paid about 65€, got much work for the next weeks

Does something have to be glass to be uranium? Or is there something else making it glow? And is there a market for old vintage or antique buttons that glow? Glow colors are mostly green, but also have some orange, pink, and blue.

I just thought I’d share what a couple days worth of loose buttons looks like at the up-cycle store I work at.

Julie, our button lady, will come in once a week and go through these and others sorting them by type and color (and several other categories). We would be lost without her.

Seems to be copper, found in an old campground in CT. Any help would be great!

which one is ur fav?

My Welsh nana recently found the button pictured above in a box of random bits and bobs, has no clue how or where she got it but is convinced it’s an old school button from 1576 AD - is anyone able to tell me anything about it or if this is a date?
