Dublin Port and Docks Board Button

This vintage button bears the emblem of the Dublin Port and Docks Board, featuring intricate details of a port scene, complete with a ship and port building. Surrounding the emblem is the inscription “DUBLIN PORT AND DOCKS BOARD,” indicating its association with one of Ireland’s key maritime authorities.

Reverse Markings: The back of the button is marked with “BUTTONS LIMITED BIRMINGHAM,” suggesting it was manufactured in Birmingham, a city historically renowned for button manufacturing.

Historical Context: The Dublin Port and Docks Board was established in the 18th century and played a crucial role in the management and operation of Dublin’s port facilities. This button likely belonged to a uniform, signifying the wearer’s connection to the Dublin Port and Docks Board, perhaps as a dock worker, port official, or maritime authority.

Condition: The button shows signs of age but retains much of its original detail. The gold finish remains largely intact, though there is some wear consistent with its age and usage.

This button is a unique piece of maritime history, offering insight into the uniforms and insignia associated with Dublin’s port authority.
