i know somewhere in my future, i will be thousands of buttons lighter than i am now and that is fine with me. i have moved away from collecting things to collecting experiences and memories now and moving all this stuff is not working for me anymore. i have some buffalo nickel head buttons from 20+ years ago that i still can not find. oh well they will turn up.

teresa i am sure i can find you some buttons for your collection from this assortment.

here are my vintage buttons in large tackle boxes and bags.
