what are these button things called? date?

HEY that is cool!
Thanks so much for posting that page Mary Catherine!!! it also dates them earlier than I thought
 
Gads, I didn't even notice the one that matches yours (although yours has a green inset, the one in the book is blue). It says (if you can't make it out), that it's made of celluloid, circa 1880-1910.
 
Wow, earlier than I thought, too....but it does make sense, given all those cucoon wraps and the Frenchy early Deco thing.
 
First off let me say that I live in So. California and to find anything really old is a shock to me!
But I must have some kind of cosmic luck with these because while posting the haul, I remembered I had bought a baggie of parts at a garage sale I stumbled across about a year ago and had even then planned to make them into necklaces, so I looked in one of my "to fix" boxes of jewelery and here they are.
I think I only paid a couple dollars for the baggie. Now I really gotta get off my butt and make something out of the cloak clasps!
