I can remember seeing some in mom's button box as a little girl. I was born in 1952.

Linda thank you I have been given a few cards from fruit of the loom with buttons, well maybe someone will know of a web site to find out about these. I'm 60 and never knew that they made buttons. in this group of buttons was 1 card that has shank buttons with cotter keys to hold them in the fabric

I have some old shank buttons with cotter keys too. There were some my mother had and I still have a lot of her buttons.
