Buttons
Many thanks Tarabelle and Leigh, I kept thinking number 5 was Inns of Court,
the others I thought were maybe railway or judicial. Among my buttons I have sorted are several hat buttons which I may offer on the forum as pairs for anyone who wants to complete a hat with buttons missing. Rob |

David, thanks for that, I thought the outer edge had a naval feeling.
