Old Buttons - Sylvia LLewelyn

Explore the most comprehensive book ever published on vintage buttons — a beautifully crafted reference featuring 900 full-colour photographs that trace the fascinating history of buttons through time. Organised by material, it makes identifying treasures from your mum’s or gran’s button tin effortless.

Each button pictured is accompanied by an up-to-date price guide (in £ Sterling), ranging from 50p ($1) to £200 ($300), helping you uncover the true value of your finds.
