steward's jacket buttons

I was recently given the wool dress jacket my grandfather wore serving as a steward on the Republic. It is in excellent shape and I plan to put it on display but it is missing the butttons. I have some generic brass buttons but I would like to find out what the originals looked like or find out where I could get some.

Doug,

E-bay often sells both originals and re-production White Star Line buttons. Someone probably removed the buttons for sale.

We recovered a few also in our 1987 effort. I've just posted an example at:
