New Finds

Coronet

Coronet Button, Buckle and Novelty Co. (later Roger Berry P/L) were distributors rather than manufacturers. I currently have no information as to who the manufacturer(s) of Coronet buttons were, or even if they were Australian. None-the-less, it may be noted that the  flat casein buttons with pressed designs in 2 and 4 hole variations do not appear on “foreign” cards. I guess that buttons like those on this card were manufacturer locally for that reason.

I have variations of this design now found an advert showing a 4 hole version:
