Thank you for posting, it has help me tremedously.

@lynny6754 3 года назад

As a hobby 'sewist,' I have always loved vintage sewing ephemera and buttons, and so I watched this video. The video, though, had a wonderful surprise for me. My husband has his ancestor's Union button. After watching your video I called him and asked if the button has a letter in the middle. "Yes, it has a C." He was so excited to add a piece of information to his ancestor's history. He had no idea his ancestor was in the cavalry. Thank you for this video!

I have been sewing all my life, and i keep inheriting sewing boxes. I have a ton of buttons. I am so excited to go search now. Great video!!!

I love buttons I have about 10,000 buttons I'm trying to go through at this very moment. Once again I'd be completely lost without you Jedi Master

@tracyfaye7295 2 года назад

Wow! I’ve been collecting buttons for years. This is THE MOST helpful information that I have come across! I even belong to the National Button Society but haven’t sold because I do t know the values. Thank you so much!!

@InnaVitamina777 Год назад

Wow! Didn't know there was a society, how neat!? Just getting into buttons,although my passion lies in jewelry..Excited to learn. Thanks for the informative video!

@alphaskwurl 3 года назад

Definitely well timed video. In all that stuff I got over the weekend, there's a few large jars full of buttons, which included a handful of military buttons as well. Then there also is a bunch of mother of pearl shell, abalone and such. Looking into those now. Thanks again Don!

@AdamTheRaptor 2 года назад

Very interesting stuff. I have a button (or perhaps more likely a pin) that I've been trying to find a value on (not military, but I dug it in South Carolina). It's 2 piece and has a fancy E with a C around it. From looking high and low on the internet, I believe it to be from "Christian Endeavor," an organization founded in the late 1800's. I found some prototype drawings or something that had a similar look, and I also found a pic of an old flyer that advertised selling Christian Endeavor pins that were gold or silver plated, so I'm guessing mine was at one time... but I cannot find a pic anywhere of pin/button exactly like mine. Maybe I need to find an antiques Roadshow lol

@jankent5677 3 года назад

Excellent excellent info. I have an old button found in situ up in Wyoming. Now where did I put it, must ferret that little puppy out.

@kevwhufc8640 9 месяцев назад

I find literally 100s of buttons with my metal detector, I have tubs full of them, I've never thought of them as valuable , some early single piece buttons especially military are worth a couple of quid to a collector ,I find so many when im hunting for Celtic, Roman, Saxon, medieval coins and artifacts.. I have a few single peice buttons with USA and a crude eagle stamped on them . My favourites are 18th century British military buttons, from the time wealthy people could afford their own private militia. I have 2 with 95 ( 95th rifles) my absolute favourites. And a rare Scottish militia buckle from the Sutherland Highlanders, late 1700s . My favourite buckle . I'll have to go through my collection and clean them to see if I have any other interesting ones among the others . I have some USA buttons 2 piece made by British button makers . If I knew someone local I'd rather give them all my old ice cream tubs full of my buttons, bc I know I'll never get to going through them I still have tubs full of Roman bronze coins I haven't sorted through yet , I always do the silver coins first ,

@Hi-ju1nn 2 года назад

The first button that you picked up and showed to us, I have this one button and the back piece is the same, the small circle peace in the back, idk how old the button is because I got it from my art class but it’s small and has what looks to be like vines around the letter “c”

@susanestes3704 3 года назад

What a great video. So did British and German buttons follow the same guidelines? I love learning from you.

@TheAuctionProfessor 3 года назад

No they do not. British and German buttons are also vastly different from each other. Each county followed somewhat of there own path. Buttons of a specific country are usually made in that country. English companies though do make buttons for many other countries as did several U.S. companies. They do have similar construction technics for similar periods to some extent.

@kevwhufc8640 9 месяцев назад

I have some 2 piece USA buttons made by British companies . Most of my single piece buttons, with heraldic designs don't dont have any makers mark on them . I don't know much about buttons,

@BrandOnLionKillerLegal 2 месяца назад

So I was born n raised in Tacoma Wa that's between two military bases Bangor nuclear sub base and for Lewis. I come across all kinds of costs and military buttons all the time. Any time is see them I get them and I've actually found more on coats in dumpsters than in a store because the jackets and such are usually ratted out or smell or have damage or whatever but I don't wanted to ask if you could do more videos on buttons. Even non military buttons as i have plenty of those as well. Maybe come out with your own button book I know you neee pictures but you could cherry pick slightly under priced buttons for sale take all the pics then just resell them for same cost or a little more for like interest or whatever cuz you picked the better ones and even if you resell them at cost or slight loss the money you'd make from book sales would supplement them. Just a thought. I'd buy a copy and if the other books are 800-1200 for the set you can basically provide all the info in your own words n pics and sell them for 250 or whatever is far cheaper than the alternative. Anyways I'd buy a copy and I'm sure any button collector would do the same

@my_vid_mich5988 2 года назад

I have a button with superior quality written on the back, it had an eagle on the front, any advice? I tired google and the price looks all over the place. Thanks in advance

@PiquaResellers 3 года назад

Is there a good price guide you can suggest? I have a huge lot of vintage buttons and I want to learn this.

@dabaglady 3 года назад

I had been told my Marinw Corp button screw back with 1812 were actually a cuff link. So it does have a majers mark, do you have a sheet of makers marks

@chrisrandom8358 3 года назад

😊👋👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Thanks!

@zzzroxyzzz 3 года назад

Good God I wish I could email you a pic of the ones I just acquired I can't make heads or tails of the ones I was just given. I know so little about it and honestly I'm having a hard time reading the back lol. If there's nothing on the back does that make it not worth anything then?

@marina.delmar 6 месяцев назад

What about buttons that look old like from civil war but have no writing on the underside? Are they replicas or can they still be from the civil war?

@matthewnovakoski6203 2 года назад

Interesting

@nikkibonbon1600 11 месяцев назад

What does it mean when you have the Indian war button but the back says horstmann bors. & co. Phill and then a very small upper case A. Thanks. Love your videos. I'm a subscriber.

@jackoshaw Год назад

Have you ever seen a Button made by George R. Nathan, from Hamburg? The one I have seem to have a Name on the front under a crest...

@jackoshaw Год назад

I am pretty sure the button was from the Nathan Brothers.... It wasn't George I was reading, but Gebruder, which I think is German brother Brothers....

@susanestes3704 3 года назад

After watching this video, I understand that the Hessian buttons I sent you pictures of, are just reproductions. There is no marking on the back. Would Hessian soldiers wear uniforms made in the USA? Or would Britain have supplied them? Did uniforms for Hessian soldiers follow the same guidelines. These buttons are reproductions ...maybe worth $1 each or less are for reenactments. Is there a market?

@TheAuctionProfessor 3 года назад

Hessians in general is a term for German soldiers conscripted by their prince to auxiliary positions for the British Empire in the 18th century. Germany wasn't a unified country at that time, and their buttons mostly were made in several German states in that time period. They would all be 1 Piece coin style buttons made mostly of cast pewter, and they are extremely rare in any condition.

@Stoney47 7 месяцев назад

I have many military buttoms all the way to when we used Hessians to fight for us.

I have 10 marine buttons from the Civil War, from my Great great-grandfather. I'm going to go get it appraised. Plus I have his marine cap. Grandpa bunked with McKinley before McKinley became President. Rutherford B. Hayes Company. Is it worth looking into? I have the newspaper article too.
