The Harrison button is probably the most common of the campaign buttons, although there are many varients. I have dug two of the log cabin buttons. I also dug one of his tokens with the log cabin and cider barrel on one side and general Harrison on the other. My buttons had a lot of gilt remaining and a Benedict & Burnham backmark. I would like to find some of the other campaign buttons that are out there.

Thanks everybody, I wasn't sure what it was till I got it home and did a search on it. It's always nice when you learn a find is more than you thought it was. HH

Sweet button and a lot less toasty than you described. I think it looks perfect the way it is.
