String of approximately 154 buttons from Somers, NY. This is more of an art string of buttons comprised of a mix of old, new and made-up buttons using new jewelry findings and perhaps pieces of old jewelry or buttons. It’s a modern take on an old idea. Buttons on the string include new metals and plasticized metals designed to look old, Czech glass, beads, art glass, rhinestone/paste, plastic that imitates bone with metal escutcheon, some charmstring glass, some glass with new shanks, a few original tint older metal buttons,waistcoat, twinkle, aurora glass, black glass with silver luster, brass with amethyst glass jewel button, MOP, faceted steels, clear glass, gray glass, plastic, perfume button, painted brown glass button, brown glass with goldstone, black glass with white speckles and goldstone with inset paste stone waistcoat,, small to diminutive Czech glass, green moonglow, sparkling rhinestones set into a ball button, metal with embossed design. Maybe a hundred years from now someone will consider this mix of buttons antique!
