A DIVISION ONE REPOUSSE COPPER BUTTON

1 Extra large approx. 4" copper Chinese Dragon known as Loong. Here is a beautifully detailed extra large 19th century or earlier button from China, this one created in repousse copper. Alethe Allen of Florida imported these many years ago from new old stock and once gone, there will be no more. This is almost the last of them as we have sold much of the stock in previous auctions. These buttons are nicely detailed and unique and I have never seen two alike. Dimensions: SM=Less than 3/4", Medium=3/4" to 1 1/4". Large=1 1/4" and above, extra large=1 3/4" and above Date or Era: DIVISION 1=PRE 1918 AND DIVISION 3 IS AFTER 1918 Condition Request Condition Report PLEASE NOTE: These buttons for the most part are antique and may have age related wear. We make every effort to point out any significant condition related concerns, but again they are antique and not new. We also cannot be responsible for replaced shanks or issues related to the backs of any buttons on multiple button cards as we do not remove these buttons to re-card them. Please contact us if you would like any further condition reports on any lot.

Estimate:$50
