Vintage C.R.C. Fashionable Buttons Display Card

This is a vintage retail button card containing eight matching navy blue buttons, still original to their display packaging. The set is mounted on a cream-colored cardboard backer with a blue printed header reading 'FASHIONABLE BUTTONS' and features the 'C.R.C.' logo with a fleur-de-lis emblem. The buttons themselves are circular with a domed center surrounded by a deeply notched or fluted perimeter, suggesting an Art Deco or Mid-Century Modern influence, likely dating from the 1940s to the 1950s. They appear to be made of a molded hard plastic or Lucite, characterized by a smooth, high-gloss finish. Each individual button is secured to the card via thread passed through a central shank. The card reflects its age with significant condition issues including a vertical crease/tear running through the center, worn edges, and light foxing/staining on the paper surface. A punch hole at the top indicates it was meant for a retail rack. The typography and 'MADE IN U.S.A.' mark (partially visible at the bottom) are hallmarks of American mid-century haberdashery manufacturing. While the paper shows distress, the buttons themselves appear to be in excellent, unused vintage condition without visible chips or fading.
