BUTTONS & BADGES
First, here is a note for button collectors new and old
Waterbury Button Company is still in business and they are still making buttons.
If they are marked on the back with Waterbury Co, you are safe. However, if they
are marked with Waterbury Co's, these are the newer reproductions. These have
been made for a few years now and are showing up on several auction sites as
"real" buttons. When you see the "apostrophe s" following the Co on Waterbury
buttons, know that you are looking at or buying reproduced buttons. Waterbury
Button Company states these are reproductions from the original molds. Make
sure when purchasing a button, you get what you are paying for! I will not sell
reproduced buttons!!
