Arrangement
Buttons in trays have a number based on location in the tray. Each tray has 6-35 small compartments for buttons. The compartments were assigned numbers starting at A1 (marked on each box, top left horizontal corner) with rows numbered A, B, C, etc. and columns 1, 2, 3, etc.
Processing Information
Duplicates above 3 items were removed in most cases.
Items are housed in artifact boxes.
Buttons were seperated by size and then placed randomly in trays. Future processing could sort buttons by topic, and place duplicates together. Also, there are a few small buttons that are not NJ and should likely be discareded.
