May is button month for ARA Archaeology! This type of moulded black glass button is often called “Imitation Jet' as it was made as a cheaper alternative to the carved jet ornaments that became fashionable for Victorians following the death of Prince Albert. #araheritage

Buttons carved from faunal materials, such as bone and shell were a popular commodity throughout the 19th C! After manufacturing grew from local shops into large production centres, these materials were largely replaced by plastic counterparts in the early 20th C. #araheritage

Buttons like this two-piece brass one were used to adorn uniforms and gentlemen’s clothing during the 19th C! This style has been used by the military since the 1830’s and will often indicate the branch and rank of the wearer. #araheritage #artifactofthemonth #ontarioarchaeology
