Hi Folks,
I know this is a bead forum, and I've really been enjoying the conversations & I'm acquiring a lot of knowledge to help me research a bead collection that I recently acquired.

However, I also acquired from the same source a lot of antique & vintage buttons. It's a partial of what was a big collection.

Would anyone happen to know if there is a similar forum such as this one for button enthusiasts & serious collectors?
Or if anyone can direct me to some good reference books as a start that would really be appreciated.
Btw, if this is too off topic please feel free to delete, admins.
I see beads & buttons as close relatives, however, that's just me.
Thanks so much!

Check out nationalbuttonsociety.org. It appears to cost $35/year to join, and I don;t know if they have a member's forum since you have to be a member to see a lot of the resources.

But, I've heard that local and national button shows are really fabulous and that the members are very knowledgable.

You can also check out Bead & Button Magazine's site. They currently have very little on buttons despite the name. Most of this mag has gone over to seed beading projects. But their "Button Corner" has 550 posts, even though the last was in 2012.
