The Fox and the Stork

Title

The Fox and the Stork

Description

1890? 2 FS buttons, apparently matched, 3/4" in diameter. $9 from Joyce's Jems at the Dulles International Antiques Show and Sale, April, '97, and $9.95 from Gary McWilliams, Arroyo Grande, CA, through Ebay, Feb., '99.

As with the 1" buttons with which these seem to be matched, a brass-colored band seems to be folded over the hook-bearing celluloid back and the bronze and black metallic front of the button. The stork has its long beak in the vase while the fox looks on. These two smaller buttons seem identical to me, though I do not think that they are identical with the slightly smaller FS button.
