    In all honesty the following pages are, mostly, an attempt to
    encourage others to assist with my research into Button
    Manufacturers and Suppliers, (Unifom and Dress),  whose names
    or marks appear on buttons and the other artifacts they left
    behind for us to find.

     I am, forced to admit, ( having spent half mine trying), that what I
    set out to achieve is beyond the scope of one lifetime.  I collect
    vintage, antique & modern buttons from anywhere in the world -
    as long as they are marked, to me a button without a mark is an
    artwork without a signature.

    I hope you will find lots of information on these pages not
    available elsewhere.  For the benefit of those of you who are
    actively contributing there are further resources available in the
    form of password protected files & pages-soon to be available
    directly from this site.

    The records I hold on British company histories are extensive,
    containing information from: The City Directories; Poor Rate
    Books; UK Patent Abridgements; Trade Mark Journals; The
    London, Edinburgh & Belfast Gazettes online, as well as material  
    from a number of archives and their online catalogues covering  
    the period from around 1700 to modern times.   I am always happy
    to answer queries if I am able and that's quite a big if - whether
    you are able to contribute or not !

    I currently, ( November 2011),  manage around  2500 page views
    per month but those numbers  are slightly below  what I was
    achieving in 2007-2008. Hopefully with the re-vamp & fresh content
    I will be able to improve on  those results - and therefore
    feedback. Don't forget if you want to see more of a particular
    subject you need to provide feedback; no feedback no more info...

             Updates for the next week or so will be frequent as soon as the
           old material is loaded and links all lead somewhere, I will make
           sure they display 100% & then I shall load new material.
           The    reason for publishing  these unfinished/ pages is that my
           software isn't  playing ball It's supposed to be wysiwyg but it's
           more like wysiwyag,  (a =almost).  At the current rate they should
           be all be, at least,  displaying correctly within the week.
