Thank you for viewing our Store,

We have for sale a large bulk lot of charming mixed ½” to 3/4” covered, shank and plastic buttons in a Universal Button Fast & Button Co box.
While the original box states there are 6 gross buttons we estimate there are over 500 buttons in the box.
They were with several boxes that are 1940’s vintage. Perfect for a craft project, scrapbooking, craft, jewelry making or matching costumes or uniforms.
Please see all photos as they are part of the description.
The box could be used as a sewing / craft room display piece. The McKinney Button Fastening Company was established in 1895 and sold shoe buttons until their popularity waned at the turn of the century. The company expanded into clothing fasteners and in 1906 was renamed the Universal Button Fastening & Button Co. The factory stayed in Detroit until 1953.


Era: consistent with 1940s
Measures: ½” – 1” diameter
Marks: none on the buttons and as noted on the box
