A Note to the Viewers

Scanning and photographing buttons have distinct limitations in the areas of perspective, color, details, and dimensions. Thus, many buttons do not reveal their true character and appearance in the photos or scans. When uncertainty exists, get a fellow club member or a dealer to show you the actual button in question.
