NBS History
NBS was founded in 1938, with many state and local button clubs
forming soon thereafter. The first NBS button show was held the next year in Chicago. Today regional, state and local clubs gather throughout the year and host button shows and sales. NBS has several thousand members from four continents and continues to enjoy gatherings and online events.
