Plus, it would not trouble me to research and become a member of another forum as I research my husband's interests. He left me with a lot of things after his passing and I am not as knowledgeable of his interests and am investigating to understand. So, I found in his stuff colonial buttons from Arizona Chemical Company in Wayne, NJ. I don't know if they get real colonial stuff and clean them up for resale or if they manufacture reproductions of colonial stuff to sale. My questions as follows:
1. Are these colonial buttons reproduced or real?
2. What price or price range would one put on them?

Thank you. Joan Cummings
P.S. I rotated the pictures on my computer but uploading them turned them back to original rotations. Sorry.
 
The buttons look like they are made of pewter, I would think they are reproduction, mostly because of the boxing, but I am not an expert. I am sure one will be aong shortly. Thanks for posting the great photos.
 
They are reproductions.
