Tombac Buttons [ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Buttons Message Board ]

I am a novice Tombac button collector. I would like to find out if the definition and discription of Tombac buttons has changed since the 1967 publication of Sally Luscomb's, Collectors Encyclopedia of Buttons was published. I continuously see white metal buttons offered on Ebay, claiming they are Tombac. I'm not a researcher. Could a experienced Tombac collector answer here, what is the correct discription of Tombac buttons if not that of Sally Luscomb's?
