Meier & Frank's Store Portland, Ore.


Wetherby Kayser Shoe Company

This is another duplicate of this 1890s vintage button hook from Los Angeles. These are comparatively common, and come in different styles.



Ely, Nevada shirt button hook

There were two Ely Nevada hooks up on ebay at the same time offered by the same seller. Unfortunately I was only the winning bidder on one of them. Nevada hooks are always tough with so many Nevada memorabilia collectors in competition.
