Vintage White Mother of Pearl Shell Buttons • Choose Size • 8–14mm / Approx. 13–22L • Matched set of one dozen 4-Hole Sewing Buttons
type: Product
description: Vintage white mother of pearl / natural shell buttons, sorted by size and available from approximately 8–14 mm (13–22 Ligne). These are genuine shell buttons rather than modern plastic reproductions, with the natural variation in luster, color, thickness, and surface character that comes with the material. Four-hole sew-through construction makes them useful for vintage garment repair, restoration, historical sewing, costuming, and contemporary projects calling for natural shell. Shell utility buttons have a long history in American clothing manufacture. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, freshwater shell button production became a major industry in the Mississippi River basin, particularly around Muscatine, Iowa. These loose buttons do not carry provenance allowing us to attribute them to a specific manufacturer, location, or production date, but they belong to that broader tradition of widely used natural-shell garment buttons.

For example, an 8 mm button measures 7.50–8.49 mm; 9 mm includes 8.50–9.49 mm, and so on. Ligne (L) is the traditional button-sizing system. We include approximate Ligne equivalents to make these buttons easier to evaluate for historical garments, restoration, costume work, and other applications where traditional sizing matters. About selection: We maintain sorted collections of vintage shell buttons rather than sourcing each matched set together. Orders may be hand-selected from multiple groups within our inventory. We’ll choose a cohesive set within the color and size ordered while preserving the natural variation characteristic of genuine shell. Need a closer match? If you’re replacing an existing button or sourcing for restoration, costume, film/theater prod…
