Almost a dozen
Eleven early plastic boot buttons from the 1920s. They're what's known as 'new old stock', which means that they have never been used. The folding boot hook (or more likely glove hook, if I'm honest) is French and dates from the 1910s. I like this one because it's a simple, functional, everyday item, but it still has a nice pattern on it. Plus, of course, it's a good size for this image. In the background is the bottom part of an antique hat pin holder, and underneath everything is a postcard dating from around 1910.
I bet you couldn't resist counting the buttons. :)
