Default Manchester OTC ?
Hey

Does anybody know what these mystery Buttons are ?

Theres 4 different types and it looks like there is some age between the oldest and the newest ? So in use for some time
Someone has said they look like the Manchester OTC design
Any thoughts welcome and they arent mines

I'm thinking that is definitely not the Manchester OTC lion.

Hi all

Simon yes the last pic was because the lion design looks to have changed for the manchester Buttons
The old one is like these Buttons they came from a lot that was old tailors stock and have military Buttons and shoulder badges that were old but never worn and there was Hunt buttons too

The last pic is Manchester OTC, agreed. The other buttons you show don't seem to be. I'm not aware that the lion design has ever changed for this OTC unit?

Well actually Simon the tails on the unidentified set also point out which is why I wondered was there a connection. It looks like there was 2 patterns of lion
