These buttons, which were sewed on leather-and fabric-top shoes for
fastenings, were made of several materials. Most of them were dome
shaped. Black and white were the two most popular colors because they
were made to match the shoes; however, colored shoe buttons were made.
The colored ones were usually covered with paints, though some were made
of colored glass. Unless the glass buttons are found on shoes, it is
difficult to differentiate them from small dress buttons<br />
-----------------------------------------------<br />
Shoe button Hooks: Most button hooks found in collections today were
made between the 1860s and 1930s. They came into very common use with
women's high button-up boots and shoes around 1880, and persisted until
after World War I. Shoes for both men and women in the late 1800s were
generally made of stiff leather or serge, with between 2 and 26 buttons;
getting the buttons through the buttonholes of the stiff material could
be a daunting task. Thanks to Paul Rice for this shoe button hooks
research.<br />

<span class="upper">What was the purpose of a lighthouse? <span class="ILfuVd NA6bn"><span class="hgKElc">What is a lighthouse? It is a tower with a bright
light at the top, located at an important or dangerous place
regarding navigation (travel over <b>water</b>). The two main
purposes of a lighthouse are to serve as a navigational aid and
to warn boats of dangerous areas. It is like a traffic sign on
the sea<br />
-----------</span></span></span><span class="upper"><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn"><span class="hgKElc"></span></span></span><span class="upper"><br />
The first known lighthouse</span>
was the Pharos of Alexandria, Egypt. Ptolemy I and his son Ptolemy
II constructed it between 300 and 280 B.C. It stood about 450 feet
high. This lighthouse was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient
World. It was destroyed in stages by invaders and earthquakes,
being destroyed in the 1300s.<span class="upper"><br />

Roman lighthouse is located on the Cliffs of Dover in the UK that
was constructed in 40 A.D. <span class="upper">The first lighthouse
in America</span> was at Boston on Little Brewster Island (1716).
The first keeper was George Worthylake who was drowned, along with
his wife and daughter, when returning to the island in 1718. The
original tower was destroyed by the British and eventually
reconstructed in 1784.<span class="upper"></span><span class="upper">The
oldest existing lighthouse in America</span> (never rebuilt) is
Sandy Hook, NJ (1764), which is still in operation. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Part of the building of the lighthouse
was paid for by the sale of lottery tickets and shipping interest
in New York City paid for the rest.</span><span class="upper">Newest
