Male Dress - Shirt Buttons II - Free ebook download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. Several types of 18th century English sleeve buttons featuring royal motifs like crowns, hearts, and clasped hands have been found in both English and North American archaeological sites from the 18th century.

Motifs on these buttons can be seen on other artifacts from the 18th century, indicating their later origin. Precise dating is difficult but many were likely made between the early 18th century through the 1760s.
