Vintage Bluebird mother-of-pearl button card from the Iowa Pearl Button Co., copyright 1922. The original card is illustrated with a stylish 1920s lady in a blue floral dress and wide-brimmed yellow hat, and still holds 16 original 12.5mm white mother-of-pearl buttons. A wonderful piece of American sewing history to use or collect.

- Genuine mother-of-pearl made in Iowa during the heyday of the American pearl button industry, when buttons were cut from Mississippi River mussel shell
- Charming Roaring Twenties illustration, perfect for framing
- A full card of 16 matching buttons, enough for a blouse or dress
Great for:

- Framing or displaying as vintage sewing art
