Description

A small beige cloth covered box. It has two small pink flowers printed on the fabric and handwritten in black on the lid is "Button Button/Who's got the-" with illustrations of what may be five stud buttons. Inside the box are two sloped compartments. The box may originally have been for jewelry, the sloped sides to more easily get out small pieces, though it seems it was most recently used to hold buttons. The box is heavily stained but the material is intact, as is the cardboard interior.
