$14.00

I hope that the scan shows the iridescence of these colorful buttons. Most of these pretty aurora lustered buttons were made in the 1950's, but there are three newer ones in this group, and one older one. The older one is the white with the box shank. The scan of the back of that one has a couple of lines, but NO cracks. All are small under 3/4" except for 3 of them. In good condition! $14
