buttons

[Peter Brydon]

Can I start the ball rolling with 2 volunteer/territorial buttons from Liverpool.

The first is a silver plated victorian button of the Liverpool Press Guard ( 80th Lancashire R.V.C. ) which shows an old printing press.

The second is a QE2 crowned anodised button of the Liverpool Irish worn pre 1967.
Apologies for the quality of the pictures.
P.B.
