A DIVISION ONE PICTORIAL BRASS BUTTON

1 Large RARE hammered back 19th century with an unusual border. Here is a detailed cupid with wings and a lyre sitting on a sphinx which I have never seen before, that's what makes this collecting hobby so wonderful, no one will ever see it all. This is an unusual enough figural example on its own, then add the applied leaves border that extends the buttons base and you get an even more unusual, fine and scarce button. From the collection the late Don and Barb Lanier. 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.
