✅ SOLVED A modern coat button?

[WHADIFIND]

The button came out pretty dirty but cleaned up surprisingly well.

I doubt it's old because of the stem. But, thought I'd ask anyway.






Not magnetic but light, maybe just aluminum?

Thanks!

Neat button; what's it made out of?

I really don't know. I'm strongly thinking aluminum. There is a bit of remnants of a yellow covering. Gilt, paint, plated,

I don't know how to test for Aluminum. LOL

Hi Breezie!!

Thanks for asking and yeah, I kinda do like the design.

 

[WHADIFIND]

yep, modern.

I figure the same. But, what gives it away?

Thanks!

Everything.

Oh really.

Then how do you 'splain this?





Never safe to assume, now is it. LOL

Thanks for ALL the help and explanation!

 

[WHADIFIND]

Okay, okay!

I yield to the far better knowledge.

This is solved.

Thanks!

Could date to the 1920s-1940s...
