A GREAT GROUP OF RELICS

[kooljay]

HIT A CROSS SECTION SITE AND FOUND SOME NICE RELICS. MOST OF THE BUTTONS ARE 1 PIECE EARLY NAVY CUFF BUTTONS, THERE IS ONE ON PIECE MARINE CUFF BUTTON AND A BRITISH NAVY BUTTON. FOUND A ODD ITEM WITH AN EARLY EAGLE ON IT, WAX STAMP? THE EAGLE IS RAISED, AND THE WHOLE THING IS ABOUT THE DIAMETER JUST LARGER THAN A DIME. APPEARS TO BE MADE OF PEWTER - ANY GUSSESES?? ALSO GOT A NICE BALE SEAL (CLOTH SEAL) FROM A DIFFERENT SITE THIS MORNING IT IS MARKED "MAUDUITAND COMPANY LONDON" BOTH SITES HAVE GIVEN UP GREAT RELICS, HOWEVER THE FIRST SITE IS RIGHT NEAR PURE SALT WATER WHICH EXPLAINS THE CONDITION OF THE COPPER/BRASS BUTTONS. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

Awesome group of buttons!! I'm not a button expert, but I believe that may be an early Eagle button. Possible Rev. War. I've seen that style somewhere, but cannot remember where. Congrats on the great finds. Hogge

That is a wax seal stamper. There would have been a wooden handle on it. I have one the same size that has a flower design on it. It came from Ft. Brooke in Tampa. Yours seems to be an officers, official, seal. Nice find! Most times they are all bent up on the back.
