Animal Buttons from the Archive
Animal buttons split into two families: stately figurals — lion heads, eagles, horses in relief metal — and playful novelties for kidswear and crafts. This collection holds both, ninety-plus designs from dies long retired.
Figural vintage buttons are among the most collected categories; the playful ones are among the most sewn. Either way, matched sets, exact sizing, finite stock.
Animal Buttons — Questions, Answered
What animals appear in the collection?
Lions lead, followed by elephants, eagles, birds, bees, butterflies, horses and assorted cartoon creatures. Stock rotates as sets sell out — each listing shows what's on hand.
Are these good for children's clothing?
The playful novelty styles are made for it — sew with doubled thread and prefer shanked styles for security.
Do collectors want animal buttons?
Figural buttons are a classic collecting niche, and unused matched vintage sets are exactly what collectors hunt.
Can you find a specific animal?
