Steel Cup Buttons
These steel
cup buttons are all constructed the same way, only the trims inside the cups
differ.
The button itself is a shallow steel cup with a raised rim. A U-shaped
steel loop shank is soldered to the back and the various trims are usually
riveted in place.
On this
card of mine the buttons are all medium or large size, 1 inch to 1 3/8
They are
from the late 19th century
