Question
I have a few old buttons that look as though they were hand carved. Where can I find pictures, info about antique buttons?
Hello Valerie. There are a number of books out on buttons, there is a button convention every year, there are button collecting clubs and internet sites. I would also check out eBay for pictures of buttons similar to yours. I'm sure you will be able to find out all kinds of information on those old buttons of yours. Good luck with your search. Barb
