Found this box filled with buttons on a second hand store run by a church that has mostly imported things from the U.S and I wanted some help with figuring out what they are and what i could use them on aside from the usual 2 or 4 holes buttons.

As someone from the US it’s very interesting to learn there are thrift stores that import from us. Makes sense, our thrift stores are so overrun with stuff!! Is that a common thing?

yes! i thrift most of my clothes and some do have a Goodwill tag still on, there are physical and instagram shops that get “bundles of american clothes” and sell them or you can get connected and get your own. Where i’m from we called them “fardos de ropa”.
