Branded Buttons

Lama/Lamar?

This one is unusual in that it is backmarked Stokes Melb , one piece flat face with a hefty shank. it may date from the 1960s.The brand is possibly Lama, and shows a lamb. Presumably it was a knitwear brand, but I have not found out anything about it.Stokes mainly produced uniform (civilian and military) buttons rather than clothing label buttons.

Saltbush

 

Saltbush Clothing Co P/L was located in  Burra, near Adelaide, South Australia. It is no longer trading.  There are identical buttons for sale on Etsy, described as from the 1970s, although it was possibly the 1980-90s.
