Nice button. Still has alot of the gold gilt left on in. You may want to post in in the Today's Finds section someone should be able to ID it there.

Nice button. I worked for the P.O. for 34 years and have a P.O. clerk's jacket with a patch that shows the Pony Express rider. It was given to me by a fellow worker that had worked for the P.O. for eons. But, it doesn't have that type of button.

Hi Jim,

Kinda nice to review some of the older topics...I wish there was more activity on this California site.

That button sure looks good and I really like the before and after photos being so similar...really works.
