2003.39.01Description
A hinged brass button cleaning stick used when polishing buttons. They were made in different shapes but this one was made to polish five buttons at one time. In this case the five buttons were slotted into the five notches on one side of the cleaning stick and then the other side of the stick was swung around to enclose the buttons while they were being polished with cleaner. The purpose was to keep the cleaner off the uniform fabric during the polishing process.Made/Created
