More On Bone Buttons!







I just recieved these great photos of the bones that buttons were cut from! You can clearly see in one photo that the size of these buttons must surely mean that they were used on either men's shirts or on a chemise or both, Actually I believe it was rare to use buttons on a chemise. These photos curtesy of Hilary Davidson at the Museum of London. Many thanks Hilary & the Museum of London.
