Post Up Your Favorite Dandy Buttons

[Ahab8]

One of my absolute favorite finds are big designed dandy buttons. I've found a lot of cool tombac buttons but the big designed dandy buttons are pretty tough to find. Here's a few of mine. The 6 point 13 star dandy is likely a patriotic political button. Wish I knew more about that one

My one and only dandy button... A real shame because this pattern is very detailed and ornate. Unfortunately, if I clean it, the entire pattern will disappear so this is it.

I can count on one hand how many dandy buttons I found. But here's mine.

Here is mine. I consider a Dandy to be at least 30mm. These range from 30mm to 37mm.

Very nice buttons!

I got the idea from Scrappy's post. This is my favorite cuff link. View attachment 1475562

Hope to get them cleaned up and sorted one day.
This one is interesting
28mm-10.47 grams.
The twist shank is off center, and it has a hole drilled along the edge.
I would love to know the age as well.
