Places that made buttons would package a specific color and style for specific stores or companies. The overrun and whatever ended up on the floor was swept up washed and packaged in bulk like this. Brings back a few memories.
Wow, it seems that everyones mom or grandma had a button tin!!! I believe I do still have my mom's old buttons! This brings back pleasant memories, Jo! Thanks for sharing!!! ^_^
What a lovely nostalgic image. I have my Grandmother's button tin and a button just like the turqoise button just like the one in the corner of your shot. Nice job!
Boy Joanna does this bring back memories this is wonderful!!! I spent hours and hours with my grandma's button collection...all different searching through them for that one beautiful special perfect button!!!
