If it says "Horstmann Bros & Co. Phil" it is not CW.


Still a good find though.
 

is it worth anything its in great shape on a 1-10 its a strong 7
 

That I don't know. Being post-war it is worth much less than a SC button with a wartime backmark. Perhaps someone with a better idea of values can tell you.


Best Wishes,

thanks for the info it will still look good in a shadow box this is why i like this hobby one word on a button one letter on a coin and youve hit the jackpot ive got my computer woking the way it should and will try to post some pics soon
 

:thumbsup:


Plus, the more we learn about the types of things we're finding, the more likely we'll Realize it when we do hit it Big. :)



Best Wishes,


Buckles
