I believe I have seen antique Women's shoes/boots with the MOP and/or Glass
buttons. These would be on 'dressy' shoes and the leather ones on 'everyday'
women's and childrens shoes.Did men's shoes of the same period have buttons
also? I don't recall having seen any. Lorri F
Hello All! Thank
I have an old lace bobbin made by David Haskins with the inscription ROSE
HANNAH BROWN DIED MARCH 18 1846 AGED 5 YEARS.
On the spangle is a child's shoe/boot button. It makes me sad whenever I
look at it :o(

Making needlelace buttons is great fun. You are welcome to have a look at
some flower buttons I have made. The quality of the photo is not very good
