Button Collectors Flock to the PAS

Mike Lewis tells me that

we have had a very positive response to this tweet with lots of people interested in buttons now following the Scheme on Twitter.

People interested in buttons. A “future direction” of the PAS no doubt. The British Museum becomes the shangrila of button collectors. They will join the forelock-tugging coin fondlers, buckle buffs and the crotal bell aficionados.

and that's what all that public money has been going on. All we need now is for them to do some social media preening on 'archaeology on postage stamps' and they'll get the philatelists in tow too.
