Kris, Do you collect Canada buttons as well? I just ran across a couple that I had picked up with some other lots that I was interested in and thought I should ask. They are one 23mm heavy and solid feeling brass Canada Militia beaver button made by Slightly tougher to find maker on Catherine Street in Montreal. It has Superb detailing on it-especially so on the beaver, that so many you see look like little monsters, they are so poor. The other is a smaller 18mm silvered one made by Tait and Company in London, but it, sadly, has no loop on the reverse. They both sport the King's Crown, so they were used approximately 1901 to 1924. Lastly in the little bunch, there is a 23mm Irish Constabulary black horn button with a brass loop and no makers mark. Can you use this lot? Anything of interest in it?

Hey William,
just got them; thanks a lot!

Nice pick up Kris you have stumbled on a hoard by the looks of it
The one that catches my eye is on the top row fifth button in with the anchor is this a Naval button or is it merchant marine or commercial.

Hey Mark,
yeah I was lucky !! As a matter of fact I am lucky for quiet a long time now!
Stuff keeps on popping up from all sides!
And the postman just deliverd your enveloppe!
The button that you are refearing to is a fantasy button to me, a cheap construction!
I'll post a better pic later on.
Could you give me your email adress in a pm please?
cheers

Sorry Chris, but to me they are also fantasy or mode buttons, judging by the construction...
But i can be wrong ....as you know;-)!

Thanks Kris , I think they came out of an old sewing box . So they could be anything . IE fake !
Cheers Chris

Fake, is not the right word! It is just that some buttons for general purpose were produced by certain smaller firm's.
Some times they could lay hand on original die's and used them as well. Materials, finition and constructions are different.
