Used Model 152 Electric Button Assembly Machine & Industrial Button Maker for commercial button making

This is a commercial button maker machine with a big history.  This machine was used in the  2008 American General election where for the first time on a major scale buttons were available online and could be ordered as fundraisers. This was successfully pioneered by the Obama team. After the election the machine was warehoused for a number of years until we purchased a large number of machines in a single lot.  In early 2017 this machine was sent back to Tecre and serviced and checked.  We have since then tested it successfully on a couple of jobs before we now put it on the market for sale.  So this machine is serviced, tested and working well!

Getting a used Tecre #152 button machine is a rare find.  If you are in the business of bulk buttons this is a solid investment and great opportunity:

What is the difference between the  152 industrial production button machine and the more expensive 1095 model.

• The 1095 industrial is more expensive but the dies are cheaper, if you're going for lots of sizes it could be an advantage.

• The cheaper 152 model saves about $5000 on purchase but is limited on sizes.  The larger size dies 3-1/2", 4" and 6" are not available also the larger rectangular like the popular 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" or the 2" x 3" and the 2-1/2" and 3" square buttons are not available for the 152 industrial production button maker.
