Antique British hunt livery button featuring a running greyhound above ornate script initials “SCL.” The original collector’s card identifies it as Stanford Vale, likely referring to the Stanford Vale Hunt or a related fox-hunting club/estate.

Backmarked FIRMIN & SONS • LONDON, one of the premier British button makers supplying hunt clubs, livery staff, and military uniforms throughout the 19th–20th centuries.

Classic gilt brass construction with crisp detailing on the hound and monogram.

This example comes directly from an old collector’s display, and the original background card shown in the photos is included.
