Answer
Hello Gary.  I don't know anything about buttons, but I do know there are a number of books out on the subject, a number of button collector web sites on the Internet and at least two collecting organizations.  If you do a search of the Internet, I'm sure you will come up with some resources to help you with your quest for information.  Good luck.  Barb
