Description  A small part of Art deco button making history! This is a superb example of a steel button making negative for press molding glass buttons. The negative is intricately hand engraved and was used to create the mould in a softer metal material which would then be used to hand press fancy glass buttons.

To reproduce a new button negative today would cost at least $2000 for the paper design, engraving work, finishing and patenting.

Each negative is unique, highly collectible and the predecessor to all 20th century glass button making. In authentic vintage condition with pattenation, as found. This can be cleaned up beautifully but may well devalue such a rare and unique historical object.

This would be a wonderful addition to any private collection or museum. An investment for the future.
It could still be used for press molding glass buttons or cabochons or for general hobby crafting with metal clay (buttons, cabochons, pendants, brooch parts, earrings etc), plaster, leather or soft metals.  Size: 25 x 23 mm; 1 x 14/16th inch Material: steel Year: 1930\'s Origin: N. Bohemia / Czech Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Quantity: 1
