Clear Glass Spindle with Metal Deposit DF
Background/Story
Here is a fantastic medium clear glass button with a metal deposit decorative finish, applied to the glass surface by way of electric current. Metal deposits made in this way can be very thin, or thick enough for engraving. For a thorough discussion of the process, see the October 2003 National Button Bulletin. Silver, gold and copper have been applied to our buttons since the process was first patented in 1889.
