Buttons (set), yellow plastic with gold-tone metal rim

Object/Artifact

Set of rounded-square ("squircle"), low-domed garment buttons in opaque yellow plastic, each encircled at the rim by a polished gold-colored metal band. The front is a smooth dome; the reverse carries a concentric-ring field with a central shank for sewing. Collector reports roughly a dozen examples in two sizes; this record covers the type, with the photographed example representing the smaller (or one) size.
