Florida Fall Button Discovery, Day Two

Auction Details

Florida Fall Button Discovery, Day Two focuses on glass artistry, enamel work, and curated carded groupings from an advanced button collection. Highlights include division three glass: Aurora luster, ruby flash, back painted, inlay and cut, English studio glass, and Mary Gregory style examples. Mixed cards pair division one and three glass on themed boards, with careful notes on color, form, and surface effects that span the late 19th to mid 20th century.

Collectors will find enamel, brass, and composition picture buttons featuring florals, classical motifs, and scenic designs, along with uniform and service related types that add historical depth. Assorted lots range from small and medium glass to premium singles, with many boards assembled for study and exhibition. The catalog also offers stud formats and specialty techniques that demonstrate the range of materials and manufacturing.

Whether you collect by division, material, or subject, Day Two delivers breadth and structure: carded sets for immediate display, research friendly groupings, and distinctive one offs. From luster and flashed glass to enamel pictorials and brass relief, this session is designed for both seasoned National Button Society members and new enthusiasts building a focused collection.
