Antique Buttons

Drove home from Mom;s - had to take a slight detour, but that's tomorrows photo - in time to go to this month's Buena Historical Presentation on Antique Buttons presented by local area residents Annie and Johnson Frazier. They started it as a hobby, but have turned it into their profession. It was a very interesting presentaion and exhibits.
Interesting shot- nice composition. I bet you got some great close-ups as well, of some of those beautiful old buttons.

@highway266 Thank you Ted, and I learned they were used before badges for political campaigns

Makes me wish my Mom hadn't thrown out my massive collection of buttons I used to keep in an old cookie tin:)
