A Division One Scarce Figural Button
1 Large 19th century picture button with celluloid.
This is not a common button to find. The depiction is found in a regular picture button and called "Over the Wall", but what is unusual in this example is the imitation tortoise shell, celluloid, background. That background sets off the design beautifully and the button is in fine condition. From the collection of Nikki Deal.

Dimensions: SM=Less than 3/4", Medium=3/4" to 1 1/4". Large=1 1/4" and above, extra large=1 3/4" and above
Condition: Unless otherwise noted we find no significant condition concerns except for normal age related wear for the age of these items.
