| Publisher Description: Based on the premise that "todays collectibles are tomorrows' antiques," how can we identify valuable buttons of the twentieth century? This book is both a history and pictorial review of clothing buttons left over at the close of an elegant twentieth century store. This glimpse and their historical context should help collectors gain a working outline of what was produced and sold during the 1940 to 1990's in the Southern Texas region of the USA. A bonus is the inclusion of many of the favored recipes from the Tea Room. |
