Luckyday buttons — the talk of the town



Here's the front and back of a 3¼-inch-wide card that once held spare or replacement buttons from a brand called Luckyday.

Some of these buttons were produced in Muscatine, Iowa, which was once the Pearl Button Capital of the World, according to an informative article from the Muscatine History and Industry Center.

If you're interested in reading more about vintage buttons, one good place to start is the Button Floozies blog.

  2. I have a half a card with a red head in a yellow sun hat and red ribbon around it. They must have been known for putting different models on the cards!
