1950s Beutron Buttons
Were these very buttons boiled for one hour before leaving the factory? Surely not, unless the boiling was part of the curing process? Surely it means a sample would boiled for quality control?
Sunday Mail (Brisbane), 18th February 1951 page 10. This ad shows the same style button. I have it in 5 sizes and a couple of visually differing plastics.
Australian Women’s Weekly, 2nd November 1955 page 10. The buttons were given a rebranding as “snow whites”.
Australian Women’s Weekly 25th September 1957 page 60. Another image update: now they are Tropical Whites.
The odd one out here are the glass buttons on the right, even though they are sewn onto a card printed for “Opal Glo” (casein plastic) buttons.
