Vintage 1980s Great Britain pattern button set NWT

Made in Italy 1900 GREAT BRITAIN PENNY - Queen Elizabeth II pattern button Size: 0.5”/11mm JHB began with a request from a friend to Mrs. Jean H. Barr, founder (1920-2008). Mrs. Barr was preparing to leave on a European buying trip for her family business and was asked to find a specific style of sweater button. She fulfilled that request and began her company in the basement of her Denver home. From this modest beginning, the company has grown to be one of the major suppliers of fashion, novelty and basic buttons in the United States and is the international leader in novelty buttons. The company was incorporated in 1969 under JHB IMPORTS, INC. and adopted the trade name of JHB INTERNATIONAL, INC. In 1980.
