From the shirt picture, we can see:
- a two-hole, tire shaped, china prosser button (1840-1920ish)
- rounded cuff
- 100% linen fabric (tough stuff)
- woven, dyed blue weft threads (not printed)
- heavy thread to stabilize the button hole
- cuff either had two cuff buttons and is buttoned incorrectly, or the button was resewn in the wrong spot, so possibly not the original button.
