Description |
24 sleeved pages of buttons with inventory information (pages have been removed from a binder). Pages A-L are printouts of Baer Fabrics' online button inventory with buttons glued on top of or attached to a black and white image of the button. The button's color, attachment method (for example, center, shank, or charm), material when relevant, line number, and item number are listed underneath each button. Each page has three columns with four buttons each, for a total of 12 buttons per page. Pages M-X contain buttons from when Baer Fabrics bought out Liz Claiborne's button inventory in 1997. Each page has six columns: the physical button glued or attached to the page, the quantity of buttons, line size, multi sizes, backstock location, and SRP each/gross. Each page has a maximum of 10 buttons, though many pages have empty or incomplete entries. The variety of buttons in both groups is extensive, and they vary in size, shape, colour, material, detail, and design. They are made out of plastic, wood, metal, and/or fabric. Common colors include gold, silver, black, white, brown, and red. Some buttons have fake pearls or gems. See attached images for examples: 2023.24.30D, 2023.24.30E, and 2023.24.30M |
