    My mom used to have a bunch of brass buttons that were held onto
    clothing with tiny cotter pins. She said they were from my uncle's
    WWII Navy uniform. I've seen the little button cotter pins for sale
    in sewing supply stores. I did a quick web search on "sewing button
    cotter pins" and got a lot of hits. The first one I came across that
    had photos is: http://www.ohgosh-buttons.com/supplies2.html (never
    shopped there, but they have pictures of the pins, for anyone who's
    interested in looking).
