I recently listed some Costumakers Buttons and wondered about the company that manufactured them.
Card of Costumakers Buttons
I found relatively little in my online search. I did discover that Costumakers buttons were made by Lidz Bros. company, founded in 1895. They were a company from New York manufacturing buttons, buckles and novelty items. They also made some costume jewelry.
I also found several trade ads for Costumakers buttons that dated from the 1940s thru the 1960s. They are apparently out of business, but I found no date for that event.

I do know that Costumakers buttons are noted for their exquisite designs and for marking the buttons (not just the card) with their brand name.
