Chestnut colored Vintage shell boot-buttons from the Victorian era strung on stretch-magic elastic. These are Victorian (pre 1920's) shell High-Top boot-buttons. Handmade in Muscatine, Iowa from freshwater mussel shell from the Mississippi River. In the 1890's Muscatine was known as the Pearl Button Capital of the World!
