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 your purchasing a button, your getting what you are paying for!  I will not sell reproduced buttons!!

Shipping cost for buttons is 1.25 for up to 5 buttons.  If you are purchasing more than five I will find out the USPS charge at that time.  THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!!!  Hope I can help you out.

Buttons I am looking for:

Colorado Midland Indian style, large and small convex silver.  Also small brass convex Indian and large silver "MIDLAND".   Large brass and small silver Florence & Cripple Creek.

I'm also looking for any Colorado Midland, Florence & Cripple Creek or Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek District hat badges.  Thanks!!
