Beutron Buttons (Australia)

Here are a small collection of children's
buttons on cards made by Beutron in the
1950's and 60's.

There were six different designs of cards
issued - owl, cowboy, teddy bear, girl,
baby and cat.

This is a closeup of an advertisement which
appeared in the Australian Home Journal
magazines during the 1950's.

The children were able to collect the cards and
paste them into a nursery story and painting book
available free from G. Herring in New South Wales.
(I would love to find one of these books!)

Beutron in Australia were a very large
company producing buttons for all the
family.

About me - I am thrilled to be able to join
the Button Floozies group. I am an Aussie and
I collect all things to do with sewing, knitting and
crochet, and because of the collections, we had
to find a bigger house - so we are currently
in moving house mode!
I have many old buttons both loose and on
cards, but I prefer the carded buttons because
I love the graphics designs on many of them.
