1) Anyone point me to a Ben Silver button tutorial? @TheNeedMachine ?
I don't know of one. So:
- If you find them on a cheap blazer from GW, and they're not all beat / chipped up, buy it and harvest the buttons.
- If you see them marked 1/20 14K GF, 14K, or .975, buy them.
- The classic designs (fleur de lis, South Carolina palms, dogs, etc) sell - if cheap, consider buying them.
- If no longer made, and cheap, consider buying them.
- Ivy league (Harvard, Yale etc), and cheap, consider buying them.
The gold-filled (retail $700), sterling (retail $475), and 14k gold (retail about $4k) of course being the no-brainer buys
YMMV.
