This week I was fortunate enough to be endowed with a lifetime collection of buttons from a local estate.  I sorted through them for days, taking out what I thought were the better ones...the ones that stood out as unusual, or of extreme quality etc.  I am really not a button expert but I selected about a thousand from this collection that I estimated earlier to be about 25,000 but is likely mouch more than that considering how many buttons fit into a large ziplock bag and that these would take about two large garbage bags to have held them all.  Anyway some great buttons from the last century right up to about the 80s period of retro throwback clothing.  There are tons of bone, wood and deco buttons as well as glass, stone, porcelain, clay, metal, military, artistic, animal, sport and fashion buttons.  I will always get the best shipping rate possible for larger orders and tried to break them up so no one had to buy too many they not have wanted to get the one(s) that they really did want.
