Book Description
This booklet provides information on military button makers of 19th-century London, a major centre for military uniform manufacturing. Buttons are invaluable dating indexes as makers often incorporated specific titles and addresses on the backs. The information compiled here is available from original London business directories. Information extracted from these directories include the company name, its business address, telegraph and telephone numbers, and how the company actually described its business. The result is a list of all firms that called themselves military button manufacturers at any time during the 19th century, as well as some that described themselves in other ways but that also produced buttons.
