Antique domed metal moonstone button. This wonderful button has a domed metal based with a long self-shank and slight indentations in the base so that a needle can more easily pass through the shank There are 31 or 32 stones and the metal behind each stone is open, making the stone visible from the inside as well. The metal looks like it was once gilded, with some traces remaining. Some of the glue has yellowed from age, some has been replaced as stones loosened during cleaning, but all stones are present. Circa 1920s or earlier, I believe. An exquisite antique button. We have three of these buttons. Two of them measure 15/16" wide and 1/2" high and are priced at $25.00 each. A smaller one measures 3/4" wide and 3/8" high; it is priced at $16.00. Please let us know which you would like to order. We will adjust your invoice at that time.
