Background / Provenance:
These button machines, and parts come from a complete professional button operation that I inherited from my longtime friend and former employer, Darrel Roby, owner of Comp Printing & Button Mates in San Pablo, CA.
Darrel was well known locally and had been producing and selling pinback buttons since the late 1970s. His business is no longer operating, and this inventory represents the remaining original stock from his shop.
If you’re local and familiar with the Bay Area button or print scene, you likely recognize the name — this is authentic, commercial-grade inventory, not hobby or recent retail stock.
