Description

Set of 4 Antique Vegetable Ivory Catalin Dyed Red two hole Square Buttons.
These appear to be Vegetable Ivory, dyed red, and some have visible edge wear from handling and age.
Shape is Square cut on an angle, measuring 1' across, 3/8 " thick. Chunky.
Date is unknown but I am guessing 1940-1950...
They appear to be hot pin tested on the back, maybe someone thought they were real Ivory at some point?
Straight from our mother's vintage button tin!
