Great product

Great product. Not only a functioning paperweight, but also historically accurate.

Sarah H.

Ordered 3 products all came very quickly and mostly as described. The button paperweight was just a piece of paper under glass and not an actual button as described. I feel as though that should have been in the description, I did not see it unless it was missed in fine print somewhere.

Over all very happy with the products, shipping time and company. Would purchase from again.

Thank you for your order, Sarah. Glad to hear that you are happy with the things you received and appreciate you pointing out the need to further clarify the paper weights. The original buttons are so expensive that I hadn't thought to add that detail and will update the description. For example, here's one for $11,000 from a leading dealer in early American historical items: https://www.sethkaller.com/item/2133-25446-Original-1789-First-Inaugural-Button:-“Memorable-Era---March-the-Fourth-1789”.

Thanks, again, for your order and review. — Lee Wright | Founder

Just right

The size, weight and design are perfect. I ordered the Linked Colonies for my son, who is a history teacher. Won't take up too much room on his desk, but is heavy enough to hold down papers.

Perfectly weighted

Not too heavy and not too expensive. The design is very clear despite being printed.
