A Collection of Vintage and Antique Collectible Buttons, Predominantly Transportation-Themed - This lot comprises a group of assorted collectible buttons, meticulously arranged and mounted on a light-colored card. The buttons are crafted from various materials, including brass, bronze, silver-toned metals, and some examples in plastic or resin, such as a hexagonal red button with a sailboat and a dark brown molded button. The collection is predominantly transportation-themed, displaying a diverse range of motifs including early automobiles (labeled ”old auto”), trains, airplanes (labeled ”airplane”), various types of sailboats (labeled ”Sailboat”), balloons (labeled ”Balloon”), a figure riding a fish (labeled ”Dinks riding Fish”), and a depiction of a ”moon Landing” event, alongside other figural and thematic designs. Handwritten annotations in blue ink on the card provide contextual information, such as the overall collection title ”Transportation,” specific labels for some buttons like ”1820” for multiple pieces, and descriptive notes for others. Some figural buttons within the collection bear resemblance to ”hoop rolling” or ”cherub” designs identified in broader web searches for collectible brass buttons.
