One penny buttons with a rear shank for fixing.  The design is an exact copy of a 1937 old english penny. Made from a non-ferrous (lightweight alloy) metal. Very slightly domed surface with a thin profile. The antique silver finish has a patina to resemble old age.

Available in two sizes only – 15mm (24L) and 18mm (28L)

From the pictures shown the true color of the button may be slightly different. How color shows up on your screen can be affected by many factors including the age of your monitor as well as the type of graphics card being used.

These one penny buttons are ideal for coats, blazers, jackets, knitwear and costumes but are suitable for all craft, sewing and knitting projects.
