Button Former
Description
Dark brown wooden button with one hole through the middle, grooves on the underside and a domed top. This wooden button is a “Blank” or “Mould” button. They could be used as the backs to stamped metal buttons, the supporting disc for cloth buttons, or more holes could be drilled in them to make simple, one-piece bone or wooden buttons. It has one hole running through the centre. The single hole was a product of manufacturing, when these buttons were cut with a lathe or a carpenter’s brace and bit.
