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.
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.

There will probably be a few macro shots in my stream for a while. I got my lens yesterday after waiting for it for 2 and a half months! I probably could have used this for over/under and geometry as well, but I might see if I can shoot something else for those two.

A Lovely hand made Glass Button my sister gave me for a birthday years ago. I love it but have not decided where to use it yet!
I ran across this mysterious button and have no idea what it was on or where it came from. It seems to present a scene of some sort. It is about 40mm in diameter and is surprisingly heavy. It is some sort of metal. At first I thought Pewter but it seems too dark for that. It is too hard for lead but perhaps some sort of alloy. Any info would be appreciated.
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.
This is another button from my vintage collection. It's well over a hundred years old dating back to the 1900s. The little waistcoat button behind it was thrown in as a gift and I love it. The carnelian bead is just there for a bit of extra colour really. :)
