Title

The Fox and the Crow

Description

1890? 2 circular FC buttons, stamped brass, one silvered, both decorated with a border of facetted steels. $40 from Lenore Monleón, Chelsea Antiques, NY, April, '97.

One image is silver in color, the other bronze. Ms. Monleón had lots of animal figurines, and so I came up with a challenge that she must have some fable figurines. She countered that she had buttons of FG but may not be able to find them. Why? She had hid them because she did not want to sell them! After fifteen minutes of searching she found them! This was the start of my fable button collecting! BBB Plate 152 #12 shows the same sort of facetted steels; the design, though distinct, comes closest to that in BBB Plate 152 #10.
