Vintage 1970s Versace-Style Gold Medusa Starburst Buttons, 1 1/8" D-Shank — Set of 22
A stunning set of 22 vintage designer shank buttons in mint, deadstock condition. Each 1 1/8" button features a bold gold-tone Medusa starburst head with delicate filigree detail, framed by a Greek key/Roman border, finished with a sturdy D-shank back. Circa 1970s and never used.
These come from the private stock of the Susslar family, founders of the Harlem-Adler Button Company and later the Lauber Novelty Button Company in the NYC garment center. For over 50 years the buttons were kept in a smoke-free, climate-controlled room in their original button boxes, and this is the very first time they have been offered for sale.
Please note the photos show glare and shadow \u2014 in person the buttons are richly gold. The full collection totals 88 pieces across four listings and ships together if you buy more than one. Sets are not broken up, no additional pieces are available, and all sales are final.
