Pressing this button operates the mechanism to uncouple a selected model railroad train car. From my childhood, it is over 60 years old. Size: 1 5/8 by 2 5/8 inches.
I made these for 2 of my friends who are starting their first year of teaching on Tuesday :) They'll go perfect in their classrooms!
I was considering putting this up as one of my photos for the Macro Monday theme Button(s) but thought that as some one had already put a similar photo up it would miss the Cut. This is a button from my Number 1 Home Dress whilst I served in the Royal Air Force from January 1977 until July 2014. Per Ardua ad Astra "Through adversity to the stars"
just playing with some ideas....

We have no idea. It's lost to history. All that can be remembered about the history of this button is that it was given out to employees of Ideal Mutual, an insurance company. To inspire the workers, a guy in a black cape would stalk the offices, for he was the Ideal BAD guy. BAD was an acronym, but for what? We don't remember.

I came across these further out on the board walk. Water is still to deep for anything to happen. managed to get a blue heron foraging and it looked like he was sitting on the water like a goose. They are wading birds and he was in the shallow water.
These delightful 'button mums' are very perky and bright. Usually only 1 - 1.5" across, they provide a warm glow during the autumn time period.
I've always thought of boot buttons as black, but it seems some of them were very colourful. I don't know how many buttons were on each boot, but it's hard to imagine pulling a boot on and having to draw each button through a hole with a button hook. I guess they got used to it, but what a performance! Both the boot buttons and the folding button hook date from the 1910s. The buttons are ⅜" wide.

Silk Button Galls, my favourite galls, are created by the Silk Button Gall Wasp (Neuroterus numismalis)!
Neuroterus numismalis is a gall wasp that has two generations per year. One being sexual and the other agamic (all female and needs no male to reproduce). The sexual generation causes Blister Galls on Oak leaves. Whereas the agamic generation causes Silk Button Galls on the underside of Oak leaves. This gall wasp is common and widespread in Britain.
The Silk Button Galls are abundant on the underside of the Oak leaves and can reach 3 mm across. This gall holds the agamic generation and looks like a thick, rolled edge disk with a deep central pit and gold hairs, there is no mark on the top of the leaf. It is a single cell gall holding one wasp and can be seen from August to October, until the leaves fall in autumn. The wasp larva will mature in August but remain in the gall on the ground throughout the winter, emerging the following year from February to April.
Lots of buttony goodness.

The Eastern Tiger Yellow Swallowtail is a common summertime visitor to our yard. This one has lost a piece of a its tail wing tip, I so wanted to Photoshop it in, but decided that wouldn't be "honest." Swallowtails live for about two weeks and can get ragged looking pretty quickly.
I had to make these as a custom order for a little girl's room... I just love the way these flowers look so modern and fresh!
Every year they appear I am fascinated by these amazing little galls! They take their name from the fact that they look like little buttons woven from golden threads! These beautiful looking little galls are made by the asexual generation of the wasp Neuroterus numismalis.

I live in Canada ... land of winter .... this is a button I couldn't live without. It's my car-starter. No matter how windy, snowy, cold, and shivery it is, my car is nice and warm when I climb in and the icy windshield is now clear!
