Probable General Plastics: 1940s

Although manufactures, both G. Herring P/L and General Plastics Ltd also sold imported items, such as these British Made buttons. They are similar to the buttons sold during the same era by Coronet; flat casein with a pressed design. General Plastics used the vine-leaf border on many pre-1951 cards.

This distributor/wholesaler  took over Coronet around 1945. They retained the Coronet logo, but added the name Roger Berry. Perhaps cards with a large number of buttons, like this, were sold to clothing manufacturers.

The dual pricing of 2/6 or 25 cents dates this to February 1966-October 1967.
