<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 4493293, member: 111&quot;]Can&#039;t tell much from your image, but a stamped brass button set with pearl would be a typical of the late 19th century, they&#039;re sometimes quite large, and often French in origin.&nbsp; Has little to do with the OP&#039;s &#039;twinkle&#039; button, which is typical of mid 20th century production, they might be all brass, a brass top with steel back, or all steel with gold, brass or silver plating (have even seen them in aluminum) - the reflective discs are usually polished steel and subject to rust.&nbsp; There are earlier &#039;mirror-back&#039; buttons (including Austrian tinies), but they differ in quality and execution- the reflective bits sometimes polished brass (and might be silver or nickel plated), and sometimes the &#039;mirrors&#039; are textured (to my thinking, negating the &#039;mirror-back&#039; description, but who cares?)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some similar to the OP&#039;s on their original cards:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391961[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391962[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]391963[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391964[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
