13L Set of Six 1950s Fish Eye Two Hole Plastic Diminutive Buttons, 5/16"

Set of six mid-century vintage plastic "pearly" translucent sew-through buttons. Recessed fish eye at the center.

Era: 1950s
Size: diminutive
Quantity: 8
Measure approximately: 13 Lignes, 8.2 mm., 21/64" (close to or 5/16")
Attachment: two-hole

Material: Acrylic -Translucent pearly plastics surged post-WWII as acrylic and urea became widely available for notions, replacing scarcer naturals like shell or casein.

Color: Translucent, pearly

Origin: United States - likely from factories in the Midwest/East Coast). The clean molding and consistent translucency suggest American origin.

Uses: These buttons are ideal for lightweight, delicate fastening on garments where subtlety matters. Their small scale works beautifully on blouse cuffs, collars, and plackets for women’s shirts or dresses, as well as on children’s clothing, babywear, or doll outfits where bulk would overwhelm the fabric. They are also well suited to lingerie, nightwear, and fine undergarments that call for understated, smooth, elegant closures.
