Post your Authentic Silver Buttons!

[{Sentinel}]

I know there's got to be more out there although you don't see them too often. I've seen some of the Reales made into buttons and they are welcome too but I'd especially like to see those originally made to be buttons like this one with a makers mark on it or without. Please post em up if you got'em!

It is my only solid silver button in the last three years of hunting.
15th to 17th centuries.
Greetings!

Looking for some original silver buttons but these Reales turned buttons are pretty cool too

A cufflink I think but could be a button. Plain front with my initial "D" on the reverse.

Here's an interesting one

This one was dug back in 2002 at a colonial site. Its got a mark on the back, but can't tell what it is from the pic. And its boxed away somewhere so I can't check it out. If I can locate it I'll post the mark at a later time.

Well most posted here are more likely cufflinks, so yes

Now that's what I'm talking about Bill. Very nice one and that shank is superb.
