Click to Enlarge
Beautiful
vintage set of 6
carved mother of pearl shell buttons tinted or dyed a soft gray.
Fabulous MOP luster. Buttons measure approximately 5/8" diameter and are
two hole sew through. Sewing holes are slightly recessed which is excellent for
reducing thread wear. Excellent vintage condition.
These buttons are from a recent auction purchase of new old stock (NOS) from the
American Pearl Button Company in Washington, Iowa. They made MOP pearl shell
buttons from 1908 to 1965. I have several colors of these gorgeous dyed mother
of pearl buttons: pale pink, raspberry red, light blue, pale green, yellow and
gray. There are numerous sizes in each color so please check my other items for
matching buttons in different styles and sizes. Some of these shell buttons are
carved and some are not. This is a rare opportunity to coordinate your buttons
on projects that require several different sizes of buttons. Keep in mind,
quantities are limited!!
