Classes or Subclasses Shown Examples for all classes/subclasses are shown. Other variations within subclasses will exist. Acknowledgments Special thanks to Elizabeth Hughes, Barbara Barrans, Louella Yeargain, Pat Koehler, Shelley Strick, Joan Lindsay and Pat Fields for collaborating in the update of this section including their contribution of button images shown as examples. The author takes full responsibility for any errors in the classification examples. Potential labeling issues should be directed to the author at price6@comcast.net. Notes for 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, ask a fellow club member or a dealer to show you an actual example of the button in question. The term "needle worked" has been used in the labels for the NBS classification guide term "needle-weaving" to avoid confusion with woven covers. Consider the two terms interchangeable for these examples.
