Offered here is the seldom seen vintage set of Augusta National Buttons from their approved vendor, Waterbury Button Company. This is a full set of Augusta National Buttons intended for use on the famed Green Jacket.
The Waterbury Button Company provides clothing designers with many historical items as well as modern fashion designs. It all started when the “War of 1812” interrupted the supply of buttons coming into the United States from England. Aaron Benedict formed the beginning of what was to become ‘The Waterbury Button Company’ and began to melt down pewter pots and pans to make buttons for military uniforms.
Between 1812 to 1849, the company started manufacturing brass and pewter buttons and fast became the nation’s first caster of brass. They have a reputation as a reliable supplier of high-quality buttons. The Waterbury Button Company continues to make buttons for all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces as well as for fashion designers and career uniforms.
Is it any wonder why Augusta National chose Waterbury to be their approved vendor? The Augusta Nat’L Golf Club pattern button is a Career Uniform button with the optional gold finish - pattern # 16438!
