The Spoons are modelled in a square, cut cornered, form with a prick dot outer border. The centre is engraved with a stylized Tudor Rose and the backs have plain applied rings. Each button is marked on the reverse with the maker’s mark of HB conjoined in a shaped punch, which is shown in Jackson’s “Silver & Gold Marks” on page 104.

A picture of Mrs How, with her great Old English Mastiffs, outside St James’s Palace, is shown. The Buttons also still have their original ticket
Elizabeth I Buttons are extremely rare and to find a set is important and very desirable.
