    I'm looking for information on these estate buttons. One is currently on ebay. (circus) Can anyone one tell me what type of clothing these circus buttons might have been used on. I'm assuming they may be 1900 era-?
    I was told button 1 and 3 are steel cup. Button 1 is 1 1/3 inches across, Button 2 is 1 2/3 inches and does have some green areas.
    Button 3 is 1 1/2 inches across and has steel studs and enamel.
    Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you!
