Those buttons have history. They were origin

as a Fart of the uniform of his soldiers.
Frederick. who deserves his description had

He wanted army OF imposing appearance.
wanted clean uniforms upon his fighters He wanted

He discovered that the soldiers were in the habit
Of drawing their cuffs across their nostrs hand
kerchiefs being discounted by the of
who were tempted to this expedient when
exposed cold
He orders for them to stop but they 1id
not stop. Consequently he ordered the uniforms
equipped with pointed buttons on the sleeves
in order that the soldiers would stop their unsani-
tary and uncleanIy habit OF using the sleeve for a
handkerchief.
1t became custom, for civilians took It ur and
copied it and handed it down through generations
Probably the spent buttons from the
