A DIVISION ONE NATURAL MATERIAL PICTORIAL BUTTON
1 Large medium early 20th century hand carved example. This self shanked, curved needle example was hand crafted in natural material. The Billiken is a mythological good luck creature and incidentally is also the mascot of the Saint Louis University. This curved needle example is different than any other Billiken's we have sold in the past and most likely older as it required a curved needle to sew it on.
Dimensions: SM=Less than 3/4", Medium=3/4" to 1 1/4". Large=1 1/4" and above, extra large=1 3/4" and above
Date or Era: DIVISION 1=PRE 1918 AND DIVISION 3 IS AFTER 1918
Condition: PLEASE NOTE: These buttons for the most part are antique and may have age related wear. We make every effort to point out any significant condition related concerns, but again they are antique and not new. We also cannot be responsible for replaced shanks or issues related to the backs of any buttons on multiple button cards as we do not remove these buttons to re-card them. Please contact us if you would like any further condition reports on any lot.
