a silver handled buttonhook from the famous American ‘SHIEBLER’ – a factory for sheer range and beauty of design it excelled in everything it produced. George W Shiebler was acknowledged for his skill and cleverness of the designs and became noted for their medallion work, inspired by the excavations at Pompeii & Herculaneum.

the details of this George W Shiebler buttonhook are in the archives of The Buttonhook Society Compendium dated 2013. What distinguishes the design, is unlike other Shiebler styles produced in all-silver construction, this buttonhook has a steel shank. There is no evidence that it has been converted from an all-silver item which might have been damaged.  The decision was to include it in the archives as there is no other example in the Compendium from which it could have been converted.  (N.B. BHS reference 40/0808s)

It is marked STERLING 5264 plus the winged  “S”

This all-silver zig-zag designed buttonhook  only has the design number 1298  but there is a very faint mark for the winged “S” . It has probably been shortened due to damage and a new hook formed but this has obliterated the usual Shiebler marks. Previously unrecorded out of more than 100 Shiebler designs in the archives, it is a rare survivor
