A DIVISION ONE UNUSUAL TUSSIE MUSSIE BUTTON

1 Medium early Victorian era example on tin with flowers. For those who collect and enjoy Tussie Mussies this early example of one is finely detailed on tin. It is Queen Victoria that made the Tussie Mussie popular but it is not everyday one finds buttons depicting them. The Tussie Mussie dates back further than the Queen but it became widely popular during her rein. This is a cool mourning example we believe. 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.
