| Publisher Description: The hobby of collecting buttons is great fun and can be a real time consuming activity, where this book comes into its own is the detail with which the buttons are described and photographed, as the buttons are all chrome, the pictures are in black and white which provides much more detail. It has taken us over 15 years to build this collection, well over 1000 hours to collate all the information, separately photograph each Button using a 10 mega pixel digital camera, and research the prices various suppliers, auction vendors and dealers are charging. All Buttons are measured using a digital micrometer and fully described including any Latin motto and the translation. You will find the information that will assist you in discovering the difference between the Buttons and which Brigades or Services they belong to. If you are looking for information about Fire Brigade and Fire Service Amalgamations it is in here, this book will help you to identify your mystery Fire Brigade or Fire Service Buttons. It is not easy finding quality information about UK Fire Brigade and Fire Service Buttons but we have it in abundance. If you are sick of trawling the internet and looking for books no longer in print, then you can get the information you need in this superb publication. |
