Nice collection.

I love the early hunts buttons.

The first one is 1 half of a cuff-link. Normal loop on the back which then had a chain to a identical one.

Yes it is a cuff link, I found one just like that. How old do you think it is?

Mine was from a site that was probably settled about 1785 or 86 and didn't last too long, but at least to 1800 as the house was shown on a map from that year. Everything was early so maybe a few years after 1800 but not many. If you check my top ten post I dug the Connecticut and the Gilty button the same day. It was likely the officer who wore the cufflink.

They are great. Most of the ones we get are toasted.

Most are here too, and all have to be cleaned, with the exception of tombac.
