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. xxxXXW...
