Hello All,
I dug some great finds this week, before it got to freezing here in Louisiana (which is 52 degrees btw!) 😂 Gumbo weather!
Here’s the video:
And here are some photos:
Always, the Charles Guyot (Paris) suspender clips:
And a great little cuff button that stopped me in my tracks when I saw the “N.O.” abbreviation for “New Orleans,” which just screams early-to-mid-1800s.
It’s from a tailor named Adolphe Capiton who was in business during the 1860s and
I also squeaked out a silver: a BEAUTIFUL 1899-O BarberDime:
The next day I hit a colonial site and scored a bucket-lister item: a 1796-1798 post-legion period US regimental pewter button with the “chicken legged eagle” and 15 stars! UNBELIEVABLE that this was in Louisiana, as those troops were not here, and weren’t a state until 1812!
Shangalang also got an awesome early pewter: an 1820-30s “US” button:
Keep Digging,
Buck
