Amusing Buttons

Amusing definition: comical, droll, entertaining, diverting.

Excuse my reuse of these illustrations, but they fit in nicely with my latest themed series.

Other buttons mentioned in passing included some shaped like lanterns, some like envelops sealed with a ‘gay patch of red sealing wax’,  and slices from a cork, drilled with holes to pass ribbon through.
