The bottom row of calico buttons shows some of the more unusual calicoes:
NBS size medium calico (well-worn)
dark body calico (the button is brown with a white design)
saucer body (concave shape)
rimmed calico (rimmed in brass)
jewelled calico (set in a brass setting with loop shank)
diminutive calico (3/8" or smaller)
