Antique advertising, novelty buttonhook S. Cohen and Co. Kid gloves


This wonderful antique advertising novelty buttonhook (although it’s not hook shaped it is designed to help you button your gloves) was made for” S. Cohen & Co. Dealers in Fringes, Passementerie, Laces, Ornaments, Buttons & Small Wares.” I have a photograph of their advertising that I will show in the last two pictures.
The actual pull through loop is attached to a die-cut silver metal eagle that holds a glove clutched in its claws. Stamped on the back of the eagle are the words “S. COHEN & CO. KID GLOVES WINTER ST.”
The eagle is an excellent condition, especially considering its edge. The loop has some surface rust toward the bend.
The loop is 3 inches long. The eagle is approximately an inch and a half long.
