They didn’t buy them. They had sewing sessions and quilting bees and shared everything.

Extra buttons from sewing projects, buttons saved from old clothes, some passed around from family/friends. Women just did a lot more sewing back then.

my mom had one. She was always pulling out a button to see on things. Buttons could be reused. They removed them from everything before they discarded the item.

Discarded clothes and I remember the dime stores sold buttons. Buttons were sold on cards.

My grandma had one. It was passed down from generations. Hers was a cardboard box.

Off of clothes that were worn out. They lived in a time of saving and reusing out of necessity.
