Found in a unit I purchased.
They are 3 King Edwars Imperial Cigar Boxes filled with nothing but buttons.
There are 100's of them.
There's extra small, small, medium, large, extra large, N huge.
The largest one is 1 3/4 inch.
The smallest one is 1/4 inch
There are metal buttons, cloth covered buttons, leather covered buttons, reg buttons, yarn covered buttons, flower buttons, green buttons, blue buttons, red buttons, white buttons, yellow buttons, pastel buttons, new buttons never used..
Ya want a button I have them, no not to push, but to close your coats, sweaters, pants.
To use as eyes on hand made animals, dolls or what ever.
The possibilities are endless.
N with an endless supply of buttons (dare I say it) you'll never run out!
3 boxes I have, but this auction is for one box.
I am going to mix them up N place in each box an equal amount weighed out N let them go as mystery boxes.
Then all ya have to do when the auction is over tell me what MYSTERY BOX NUMBER YA WANT

Referring to this message below I received through listia's contact me: I am so sorry, but I can not change this offer. 1) Bids have been placed; 2) I am honest N plan to never be dishonest.
I may be able to get my hands on a few of these boxes, I know where there is a bunch of them. Give me time to see if I can have those. But for now if ya want the box ya have to bid on this auction. Also after this action is over with I will still have 2 boxes remaining N can transfer the items with in the box to another box. Please understand what I have stated in this comment. TY

I am a woman, not a man. I was just commenting on the boxes. They have a picture on them and say "King Edward". Before the days of Caller ID, many kids used to make prank phone callas and say "Do you have Prince Edward in a box?" and the person called would say either yes or no. And the caller would say "Then you better let him go!", and hang up. I thought this was something everyone knew. I'm sorry for the big headache. I just thought it was funny. I didn't mean any harm, sorry if it confused or offended anyone. Apparently Angelscry must have understood since they replied with "lol", at least someone else got it other thean me. Whew...I'm not too old yet. ;)m Be blessed.
