Buttons

6fdc_1This is an example of an unsual Cased Set of 6 Sterling Silver Buttons. They are circular with a shaped edge and they form entwined marine creatures. When they were manufactured there was what I believe to be glass filling in the gaps between the entwined marine creatures but most of this has now gone from each one. They come in their original box which is also stamped with the makers name inside the lid.

Assay Office: EDINBURGH

Date: 1910

Makers Marks: Brook & Son

Dimensions: Each button is 1 inch in diameter

Condition: Each button is in good condition apart from the glass infills, but this certainly does not detract from this very unusual and very useable set

Remarks: An unusual Cased set of 6 Solid Silver marine creature buttons and a very collectable item
