Antique Black Glass Button…Superb RARE ACORN TINGUE…Beautiful Condition

Measures 1/2” across & 9/16” tall….these come a lot smaller, so this one is really nice and chunky.

1800's.

This from the CA State Button Society Facebook page….
John Tingue was a long time senator from New York. During The Great Depression he attempted to revive the Victorian Era custom whereby young women of marriageable age created button charmstrings. He offered $50 to the first such woman to produce a completed charmstring. The New York Times, in reporting this offer, inadvertently omitted the critical word "first". Senator Tingue honored the offer despite the error. In so doing he accidentally acquired an interesting button collection representing a snapshot of button boxes across the country. Upon his retirement he donated it to the Connecticut Historical Society. As a local button club organized the collection they came upon an unusual number of these small, previously unappreciated, glass buttons that now bear his name.  -Lucy Carriero Traverse
