Oh, be careful how easily you get rid of them! I had a fair amount of buttons from my mom collecting them for decades. While she was still alive, they didn't seem overly important, so in a house cleaning fit, I donated most of them to a white elephant auction at my son's school. Now that my mom has passed away I dearly wish I had kept that big ol' jar of memories. Even worse, the buttons auctioned off for a very small amount of money...
