Section 23-11 Studio Buttons
Page 1 of 1
The purpose of this section is to provide examples of studio buttons as defined in the NBS Classification Guide1 (Blue
Book)
including one or more examples of each type in the listings and an example
that covers each term in the definitions. Passing your mouse over the button
image will turn the button over so both sides may be seen. In some cases,
more than one example of a type is shown. 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.
A worksheet for Studio buttons has been provided and can be printed or
downloaded with the link at the bottom of this page.
