A DIVISION ONE UNDER GLASS BUTTON

1 Large 18th century "Habitat" BUG example. Habitats are not always as desirable among collectors as many other 18th century buttons are, except when it comes to a real beetle under the glass like in this example. The white background is Mica and it has a brass rim and tin back. A very nice example indeed. The late Don and Barb Lanier Collection. Dimensions: SM=Less than 3/4", Medium=3/4" to 1 1/4". Large=1 1/4" and above, extra large=1 3/4" and above Date or Era: DIVISION 1=PRE 1918 AND DIVISION 3 IS AFTER 1918 Condition Request Condition Report PLEASE NOTE: These buttons for the most part are antique and may have age related wear. We make every effort to point out any significant condition related concerns, but again they are antique and not new. We also cannot be responsible for replaced shanks or issues related to the backs of any buttons on multiple button cards as we do not remove these buttons to re-card them. Please contact us if you would like any further condition reports on any lot.
