Default P.Berney

Does anyone have any info on a 'P. Berney' as a button manufacturer?

Hi,
This came into my possession recently.
I don't normally collect buttons but a family member gave them to me and this single button by 'Berney' was amongst those given.

Worcestershire regiment, approx 26mm. Photo attached.

Regards
Steve

Steve,
Strangely I couldn't find anything in any of the online lists for 'P. Berney' as a button manufacturer until Mike posted the 1925 ad. I was beginning to think that the single Buffs button I had with that name was a complete oddity, but clearly there are at least 2 buttons now with yours added to the total!
Regards,
Leo

I have a few

The Buffs pre 1935 large
The Buffs pre 1935 Medium
Gloucestershire Reg Large
Welch Reg post 1920 Large
Seaforth Highlanders Medium

1925 certainly fits with the dates of mine.

Rob

Smile Thanks

Thanks Guys.
I just find it strange that in all the lists of makers I've seen online, I still can't find mention of 'P. Berney', but nonetheless, I'm now happy that it's pukka & can add it to my small collection of Buffs buttons.
Regards,
Leo
