10. Antique button hook.

Used to button up my wedding dress 31 years ago. I have no idea how old the hook is but it lives in my sewing tin with other treasures.

Very interesting gadget and very functional, too. Something completely new to me.

Oh what a wonderful keepsake. My nanna had a button hook like this one in her 'mystery box' where she kept her treasures.

I remember these! Super treasure ❤️

A historical thingamabob! These days I bet far fewer buttons are used than in years gone by! After all we have Velcro 😱

Great catch

[Kathy]

Well done. Is this your wedding dress too? I never really knew how a button hook worked although I recognized what this was right off.

[KV]

Never seen one of these... cool!

[FBailey]

What a lovely keepsake, never seen one before

[Cazzi]

It's wonderful that you still have the button hook and definitely a treasure.

[Shutterbug]

Very nice comp. That is probably a real antique. I love that you included the button in the image.

[sheri]

Never heard of this but what a lovely vintage item.

[Ingrid]

So interesting! I had similar buttons at my wedding dress, but did not know a button hook existed!
