Land transportation uniform buttons. Trolley, railroads, etc. When ordering jot down the page name, the item code (in brackets under the image), briefly describe the buttons and give the price then e-mail your order to me. Click here to e-mail: carolc@vintagebuttons.net Or copy and paste my e-mail into your own e-mail program: carolc@vintagebuttons.net
The other numbered codes shown in the description are from Donald Van Court's two books covering Railroad and Transit uniform buttons including his RV code (relative values A-G. "A" is common "G" would be scarce). Sizes are "coat" (usually 23mm) and "cuff" (14-17mm).
Generally there is only ONE button available unless otherwise noted within the description. I take check and Pay Pal payments.
