“Lady Washington Baby Pearl Buttons” are small mother-of-pearl buttons made from Mississippi River shells by the American Pearl Button Company in Washington, Iowa. Produced from 1908 to 1964, they are known for their durability and luster. The name likely derives from the buttons’ use on baby clothing and their production in Washington, Iowa, rather than any connection to the historic ship Lady Washington, although the buttons themselves are a piece of history.
