A DIVISION ONE WOOD BACK BUTTON

Description

1 Medium 18th century repousse metal with steel liner. I just love the color in this steel liner example from the late 18th century. Wood back with original cat gut shank. These examples in this vibrant color do not come up often for sale and when they do they are very faded and pitted and this example is stunning.

Condition

PLEASE NOTE: These buttons for the most part are antique and may have age related wear. We make every effort to point out any significant condition related concerns, but again they are antique and not new. We also cannot be responsible for replaced shanks or issues related to the backs of any buttons on multiple button cards as we do not remove these buttons to re-card them. Please contact us if you would like any further condition reports on any lot.
