Subject: [h-cost] Where Can I Find Plain Flat Pewter Buttons?
Hello,
I am in search of a source for large quantities of plain flat pewter buttons,
both large (7/8 - 1 inch) & small (9/16-1/2 inch) for Revolutionary War coats.
I checked James Townsend & the cost for the amount of buttons for just one coat
is quite high. Does anyone know where I can get larger amounts for a lower
cost? I would really appreciate it.
