Military Buttons Rosette Lot 5 Pc. This antique and vintage ephemera and jewelry collection features an ornate Victorian-style enameled Maltese cross pin adorned with faux pearls and blue rhinestone accents, a silver-tone metal starburst/arrows relief button, a mixed-metal gold-and-black star design button, a small brass military crest button, and a woven tricolor fabric rosette lapel device attached with string. Spanning the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, these decorative metal, enamel, glass, and textile items offer strong appeal for antique button collectors, military insignia enthusiasts, and Victorian jewelry archivists. Unmarked by individual manufacturers as typical for mixed period findings and buttons, the individual pieces range in size from approximately 0.5" to 1.25" in diameter/width. The lot is in good antique condition, showing expected signs of age including surface patina, light tarnish, minor finish rubbing on the brass and electroplated elements, and minor fraying along the edges of the fabric rosette, though set stones remain intact and attachment backings are functional; no major defects observed. See photos for close-up details.
