A RARE set of pewter Sporting pictorial buttons:

4 Large 19th century buttons with 4 different sporting scenes. This fun and whimsical set is pictured in the BBB by Hughes and Lester on page 659. You can read the entire background on that page. These cool FOLK ART style buttons are undoubtedly American in origin as the BBB says, as there are few deer no bears or raccoons in Britian. This set was made in a very limited quantity in the late 1900’s and from what we can determine there are only a few sets remaining in collections today. According to the BBB there were a few single examples made and several years ago at the Page Auction one of those single examples showed up and sold for over $600. This is a wonderful and very whimsical set to find so don’t pass this one up, you may never see another set in your lifetime for sale.

An extremely rare Porcelain button from Hungary:

1 Large early 20th C. realistic shaped Herend porcelain button. This is perhaps the rarest button in this auction and actually one of the rarest buttons that exists. The Herend porcelain company in Hungary does not even have records showing that they ever made buttons, and we have been told that the ones like this probably were simply a prototype. Many years ago Bruce received a rare Herend button of a hand with nail polish and a bow. It came to him in a collection and at that time even the best experts had never even seen a Herend button. Herend porcelains have been produced since 1826 in Hungary. This button and the one Bruce owns is not only backmarked with Herend’s blue mark but they also have an impressed backmark signifying the Herend company. This colorful rooster head is possibly the only one of its kind just like Bruce’s hand example from what we are able to research and determine.
