The photos show some glare and shadow, but in person the finish is a deep, luxurious gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this piece especially unusual is the double shank on the reverse, believed to be a prototype construction. It sews on beautifully as a statement closure on a blazer or coat, and would also make a striking brooch or pin with a simple conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Lauber Novelty Button Company archive: Morris Susslar founded the Harlem-Adler Button Company in the 1940s and later Lauber in the 1950s, sourcing high-end buttons worldwide until the family closed the business in 2005. These pieces were stored in smoke-free, climate-controlled button boxes since the 1970s and are being offered for the first time, exclusively here. Only one available; all sales final.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dave's Discovery Den","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50288299802838,"sku":"08-10-2026-400","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/0337\/7878\/files\/08-10-2026-400-01.jpg?v=1787342825","url":"https:\/\/www.davesdiscoveryden.com\/products\/vintage-versace-style-gold-medusa-starburst-button-1-5-double-shank-c-1970s","provider":"Dave's Discovery Den","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
