The American Photo Button Co

Hi,
Can anyone tell me whether The American Photo Button Co were in England. I have a photo which I have reason to believe was my husbands Gt Grandfather taken around 1900 but it has the words 'The American Photo Button Co' under the photo. I'm sure that he never travelled to America.

I'd appreciate any help.

The Americian Button Machine Company still exists today in America https://www.americanbuttonmachines.com/ they supply machines and sundries to make novelty buttons, so I would assume that the button was made on a machines purchased from them rather than them having a company in the UK. They appear to have been in Iowa in 1904.

Thank you for you reply Colin. I have sent an email to the website that you suggested. Not sure whether it is the same. I will let you know if I receive a reply. Regards Margaret
