Very large 1930's/20s celluloid button,3 inches metal shank tight top, Yin and Yang motif, excellent condition, popular brown border, inside design,
As a serious button collector of many decades, I can attest to to the difficulty of finding really large buttons. A three in button is almost unheard of.
Here is one from the 1930's or 20's. It is a celluloid tight top and has a brown border with thumbprint indentations, with a black background in the center with a Yin and Yang design of green and blue.
A tight-top is a vintage button that has a top layer of celluloid stretched and held tightly by a metal base.
This one is remarkably unusual.
Parting with buttons is difficult for me...by listing this one, I am jumping into the deep end.
It is in excellent condition. Very collectible and an awesome retro fashion statement.
After 28 years of making one of a kind clothing as a career, I have retired and am now downsizing my stash, which may take another 28 years. It is a substantial stash and includes masses of wonderful vintage items. In fact,it is mostly vintage items from buttons, to fabrics, to trims, embellishments and novelties.
These are things that deserve to be out in the world and used by someone, My loss will be your gain.
Have fun!
