As always, thanks for watching!
I can't tell you how much I loved this video. It was everything I wanted in a video about buttons. Just the joy of being in the presence of such history. Everyone talks about worth but not many talk about the history of the button. It thrills me because it's so fascinating. The history of us as a human family, what we did, who we were, our station in life, it's beautiful and exciting. I've been collecting buttons all my life for this reason without any knowledge of worth or origin until lately. I'm falling in love all over again. Thankyou for your video❤❤❤
I've dug a few of the tiny milk glass pieces shown at 20:35 and always wondered what they were. Thanks for solving that mystery! That's a really fun grouping of buttons.
Interesting 😊
Loved this video! Just picked up an old button tin & am having so much fun sorting through them! So much fascinating info here, simply a wealth of knowledge. Will be watching your previous videos soon! THANK YOU!!!
The brass screw was used to hold the flint in the flintlock black powder rifles
Quite interesting really, can imagine it being pretty cool to pick up and inspect 'n stuff
P. S the black glass & the mother of pearl are my favorites here
Very nice
Thanks!
I have probably 750 antique button i am doing myvbest to learn about them
Very cool
Thank you sir. I hope your year has been off to a good start.
@@CollectorChronicles Hopefully yours has been also👍
Love buttons.
I have two, 1" gold gilded USMC coat buttons, 6 pointed stars, they both say "Jacob Reed's Son's" and "phila" but only one says "made in England". From my research, they may be 1806-1850, but difficult to tell. Besides the $300+ books on Amazon, do you have any other resource material for military buttons or websites?
Hey Dave. Those are modern buttons by the markings on the back. WWII more than likely.
@@TheAuctionProfessor thanks!
Where do you get that button identification card that is in the background of this video? Great video.
Sorry those 4 hole pants buttons are NOT Civil War. They weren't made like that back then.
Thank you for watching and the feedback, but you are mistaken sir. You can search Google images for Civil War original trousers and see the exact buttons. I will be releasing a video on U.S. army trouser and shirt buttons from 1812 to WW2 so stay tuned.
How can you tell if black glass is authentic Victorian and not new Czech glass made to look Victorian? I always look at the shanks but still question.
