<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 11680885, member: 33&quot;]There is a tiny bit of information on glass buttons with glass shanks on this page:</p><p><a href="https://www.crazycrow.com/site/history-of-buttons/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.crazycrow.com/site/history-of-buttons/" rel="nofollow">https://www.crazycrow.com/site/history-of-buttons/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Just once sentence, really, and it&#039;s vague: &quot;Blown glass buttons with glass shanks appear in the 19th century and perhaps previously.&quot; This is about halfway down in the page linked above. And I just found the text above was copied from a 1994 research document written as a supervised undergraduate project, that is available online in pdf form.</p><p><a href="https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?params=/context/utk_chanhonoproj/article/1042/&amp;path_info=Marcel_Sarah_1994.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?params=/context/utk_chanhonoproj/article/1042/&amp;path_info=Marcel_Sarah_1994.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?params=/context/utk_chanhonoproj/article/1042/&amp;path_info=Marcel_Sarah_1994.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It appears that there is a lot of information about shanks in that document, but not much about glass shanks that were created as part of the button, not applied separately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
