WOW! I am going to have to look more closely at all my buttons. They have come from everywhere.

My father is an avid carver of bone items. He makes he tiniest of things from bone. This looks similar to what he does, I wonder if it is a type or style similar to schrimschaw?

Glad I came back to check on the updates. Love the pics of the last bunch of buttons. There are a few I wish I had in my collection.

It could be a stamped design like the old seals to close letters with wax? Maybe?
