    Post your Authentic Silver Buttons!

    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 I've seen some of the Reales made into buttons and they are welcome too but I'd especially like to see those originally made to be buttons like this one with a makers mark on it or without.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!

    SILVER BUTTON FOUND AT 1600s-Early 1700s SITE Maker's Mark: RM



    Back: Stamped at top and bottom"RM"

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

    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.
