Buttons- 25

This is a Button Box which I inherited from my late mum. Looks like it might have been a cigarette box in its first life but I’ve not heard of the Ardath brand. It lives in a wooden sewing basket (I can’t think of what else to call it) that has all kinds of drawers that pull out, each filled with a whole bunch of goodies. I don’t use it much but I do treasure it.

A delightful box to treasure

Nice! Google shows me pictures of Ardath cigarettes, so I guess it really was a cigarette box.

Wonderful button box. I've used my dad's old cigar boxes for various trinkets. =)

A lovely collection. I have a button box collection too and mine are in a Roses chocolate tin.

Fun to see the various buttons that have been collected over the years. Mom's and mine are contained in glass jars.

It seems that brand of cigarettes began in 1893 and was sold in 1961

@kjarn interesting - my m smoked but I don’t remember that brand at all

Nice shot. Takes me back to remembering my mom’s button box.
