KALEIDOSCOPE BUTTON #4, 1800s Glass, Colorful TIN BACKED Design

Description: Antique clothing button was probably produced in the latter part of the 1800s. The button is made of a dome of clear glass, with an underside that is colorfully painted in a gold, green, blue and red plaid design. The backing radiates color differently when the button is viewed from various angles. I believe this is called a KALEIDOSCOPE button. One odd thing about this example -- there is a small area on the surface that is flat -- rather than rounded. This may have been the result of not enough liquid glass poured into the mold during production, but in any case, it adds to the button's ability to reflect the color in unusual ways. I have tried to picture the affected area, so you can see what I am referring to -- I did the best I could, it was difficult to get a clear image. The button has a metal shank affixed to the round, tin backing. Please refer to the ruler pictured in the image for the exact button size. Overall condition: Solid VG..... In addition to the above-mentioned flat section of the round domed surface, the button may have light surface wear and some paint wear as well -- but there are no cracks, chips, or other more serious flaws. It is overall in nice shape and it will display well. See attached photos for more detail on the condition. ***************************************** PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage buttons. My mom -- Nancy Moran -- was a longtime member of the National Button Society, plus was active in several local button clubs in New York. She is downsizing, so I am helping her sell some of her collection. But I am not familiar with all the terminology and intricacies of button collecting. I try to use various notes she left with the buttons to describe them to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing these items, are not terms I am familiar or experienced with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so I use my condition grades in a commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
