Hello btns

An interesting site, just a pity that they do not illustrate all the buttons on offer.

As the London Badge & Button Company is now part of this group it is possible that some of the buttons on offer are the 'Victorian' crown type that LBB produced a few years back (the "crown and knot" button could be one). These do sometimes appear on ebay as 'Victorian' but they are obviously not due to the finish and backmark.

Hello Roger,
Designs without images do not sell, so I hope they will add the "coming soon" images.

I would not complain if they follow the Waterbury Button Company example:
http://www.waterburybutton.com/cart/pc/home.asp

The latest trend in fashion is military WWI trenchcoats.
Waterbury offers general service buttons to the fashion industry.

Waterbury struggles to find the correct names to the dies. After so many mergers TKS may face the same problem.

best regards,

Are their prices for a single button?

Bargains, when you consider the cost of the actual clothing they are attached to.
