An unused, mint in box, set of six buttons marketed by the Irish brewery Guinness circa 1930. The buttons are intended for a waistcoat (vest) and each measures 5/8-inches in diameter. They depict familiar Guinness advertising symbols including: a kangaroo, a toucan with a pint glass of stout, a policeman, a seal balancing a pint of stout on its head, an ostrich head and neck, and a tortoise with a pint of stout on its shell. The buttons are made of brass with glass fronts.
