Tip-Top Detachable Buttons


My darling Neta loved to sew. When she flew away to heaven she left her sewing machines and sewing supplies to me. She's been gone almost five years now. Only recently I finally went through all the sewing notions she left behind.

I found this fascinating card of detachable buttons! I've included the back side of the card because it has two remaining buttons, and thus you can see how they worked. I love these old things--so normally a part of people's lives, and now considered "vintage."

The buttons were made by the Tip-Top Products Company, in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. I'm not sure when they were made.
