A DIVISION THREE CARVED MATERIAL SCENE BUTTON

1 Large 20th century oval carved figural example. We don't know if this is a hard celluloid or resin example, but we do believe it was crafted to imitate a natural material. The detail is incredible and the thickness and weight is remarkable. Whatever the material is the Laniers prized it for a long time after purchasing it from Tender Buttons shop in New York city. A great example to add to any collection. From the collection the late Don and Barb Lanier. Dimensions: SM=Less than 3/4", Medium=3/4" to 1 1/4". Large=1 1/4" and above, extra large=1 3/4" and above Date or Era: DIVISION 1=PRE 1918 AND DIVISION 3 IS AFTER 1918 Condition Request Condition Report PLEASE NOTE: These buttons for the most part are antique and may have age related wear.
