The other reason is that when a young couple got engaged to be married
the boy, being a poorly paid agricultural worker and the girl a poorly

give his sweetheart a button from his waistcoat instead and she would
include that button in one of her spangles.
I have an old inscribed bobbin that says, "love forget no not me" and
has a military button on it.
