Up for sale is a set of 12 vintage plastic shank buttons in a rich burgundy/wine tone with a molded scalloped flower design and gold-tone metallic rim on the front face. The reverse side is a solid burgundy plastic with a self-shank (molded loop) for sewing attachment — no holes to sew through, these are shank-style only.

These have the look of mid-century (likely 1950s-60s) costume or dress buttons, molded in a two-tone "flower cookie" style that was common on cardigans, blouses, and dresses of the era. Each button measures approximately 12mm (a bit under 1/2 inch) in diameter, confirmed with digital calipers.

Please see detailed photos for item condition. Overall the set presents well for its age, with consistent color and shape across the lot; light surface wear consistent with vintage plastic buttons can be expected, and any variation in finish should be seen in the photos. No holes, only shanks, as noted.

A nice small lot for a vintage sewing collection, doll clothes, jewelry making, or completing/replacing a set on a vintage garment.

I am always happy to consider any reasonable offer and will combine shipping.
