The weather around here is slated to go sour after today so,
even though I hunted yesterday I thought I'd give another place
a try today. Pretty much another clad day but I did manage some interesting
items again:
Bird band?
This was a strange find. I thought it was
just a cloth button from an old chair. But,
it's actually an earring!
I found a penny the same way back a while ago.
Maybe I can find the whole set? LOL
This button was my saving grace today. It's a solid button
but I almost never find these with any design on them.
This is as far as I'm going to clean it right now. I didn't even know
it had a design or that it still had some remnants of gilt on it until
I got home. I want to give the button experts a chance to identify
it if they can before I attempt any more cleaning.
The back is in poor shape but I can see some information there, just
can't quite decipher it yet.
If anyone recognizes the pattern, please feel free to share. Even a possible date range
for the type. If there are any suggestions as to further cleaning, I could use some.
Anyway, after two long walks in a row, I think I can tolerate sitting for
a few days. LOL
Thanks for peeking!
