What is sad is that a wide variety of buttons were readily available in the 70s and 80's for home sewists. Shell/mother of pearl, bone, wooden, leather, glass, etc were all fairly easy to come by, though most were imported. Today, except for a handful of specialist retailers, almost everything is plastic.
Question: when looking through a box of buttons, what’s the best place to get information about your particular buttons? I’m not really sure where or how to look for a picture of the buttons I want to learn more about. Thanks. 😃
I have a button I would love some help with. It is a button that dates from the early 1900s I believe .On the front is a clear K for Kellogg’s. I know the Kelloggs museum has been shut down A few years ago I have gotten a hold of them and a couple of their curators and they could not tell me that there was another one to compare it to. They knew what it was right off the bat but they did not know that any still existed. I’ve also contacted the Smithsonian and a couple of other institutes and nobody has ever seen one. I would like to know if she has any information or knowledge about it ?
I would appreciate any comments on this old button I fould metal detecting in S/E Michigan. It was in the ground in an area where the first house was erected in the very early 1800's in Lenawee county.
Sheri is a wonderful presenter! This is such a clear and educational interview. Thank you!
Brilliant! Sheri’s cards are beautiful!
Sheri M DeCrew is a terrific storyteller! This is one of the best interviews about collecting buttons I have seen.

And you can get buttons at a button show, usually put on by a Button Society. There are many of them all over the world.

Sheri is a great teacher. Sadly the interviewer had the need to constantly interrupt which is annoying and rude.
Some inaccuracies on steels and Gay 90s.
