Olds horn button collection

I thought a few of you might enjoy this. I got all these from cars in junkyards over the years. I have some spares of some of them if anyone wants to trade for ones I don't have. Always need more stuff right?

Others that won't fit in the case.

Nice collection Scott! I'm not allowed to keep that much stuff anymore... My wife says "if it's old, get rid of it!" Then she saw me look at her funny like and got all mad.....

I would have told her that I would have to get some new "stuff" then.

No way dude! I use all the mopar horn buttons for target practice!

I think I may have it upside down & it just looks like a mopar one?

My mistake - there's one early-'60s Olds logo that looks just like a late-'60s MoPar logo to me sometimes...

That's funny. My wife doesn't seem to mind, but I think that may be changing... She's been watching all these shows on hoarding lately!

The horn buttons are cool, and at least the excuse they don't take up much space could be used..

Scott,

your collection looks awesome. I'd like to start collecting Buttons, too bad i'm not near any yards that carry older cars.

What are those 6 black rocket buttons in your latest picture? They look pretty sharp.

Only button i have in my collection is on my actual steering wheel in my 72. And there's a sharp crack right down the middle of the rocket emblem. Was that common? I guess people press too hard.

I figured you had more Scott.You could make a big collage with those,but if enough people see those,sooner or later you'll get "Hey,I need one of those." Problem solved.

Tony,
I think those black ones are from '66 & '67 cutlass/442s. I've seen many sport wheel horn buttons that are cracked. People usually hit the horn button in anger/frustration right?

Brian, I had a lot more, but sold a bunch of them a couple years ago.
