Button Floozies

I pulled these metal buttons from a glass olive jar of many buttons.  They were purchased in an antique mall in PA.  These really stood out.  Check them out... Do you have any information on these?

Here are four vintage buttons from my button collection. These were in with 100's of other buttons, in a large button tin. Check them out....   A fabric covered button with a printed giraffe   1 molded plastic red button,  1 fabric covered red giraffe button,  1 metal sculpted button, 1 glass etched floral button A metal sculpted button

I belong to the Colorado Springs Button Club, and we had our monthly meeting yesterday.  It was a fun one; instead of a "program" this time, we brought our own buttons to do some work on them.  Some people spent time putting their buttons on cards, which is the preferred storage and organization method.  I was merely sorting through small bags of buttons I've bought and haven't had time to separate.  Two shoeboxes full! It was such a satisfying way to spend a couple of afternoon hours on a Sunday! I "re-discovered" so many favorites!  I love this one for it's wonderfully ornate front... and then it's sort of "bubbled" reverse.  I have a round one like it, too. This one is ball-shaped... and the one next to it is made from overlapping pieces of scalloped metal, in a pinwheel shape. I think that carved mother-of-pearl are my favorites, though. That, and glass, like these colorful beauties (above.)

I'm showing off some of my vintage metal buttons on my Dominant Hands blog   like this silver maple leaf button perfect for a knitted sweater. Button Floozies come on over to see more!

Hi everyone, I recently sorted out my buttons. I came across these and was wondering if anyone knows anything about them. The clear ones feel like glass, they are a heavy button. The ones on the paper are metal. You can see one of them has tarnished. The other one, shaped like a tear drop, is bone I think? Not sure about that. Just a wild guess.
