Comment A fine studio portrait of a Kirkcaldy crew (see link) clearly shows that the buttons were plain with a scalloped rim; it is however currently unknown whether the material used was brass or nickel.

Kirkcaldy Corporation never ran its own buses (or trolleybuses), instead reaching agreement with W Alexander for that company to provide motorbus services on closure of the municipal tramway.
