A rather strange day today.

[WHADIFIND]

I'll let you decide why I think that with these finds.

One thing though, the Indian head wasn't found today. It was just one of the more successful cleanups of one. I had it soaking for quite some time. Kinda nice when one cleans up nicely, ain't it.

So, here's the finds sans the prerequisite cladage , but with a neat helping of love.

Remember to always enjoy.

HH!

Hmmmmm, guess not. LOL

 

[sonofadigger]

mmm im guessing it has something to do with all the chinese/japanese stuff and that its all naval related

 

[Boog]

I gotta say you got some real FINE finds

 

[Dihren]

I love them, especially the heart medallion, but why are they strange? All naval?

Well, yeah, kind of all of the above. But there just seemed to be an emphasis on buttons this day. Maybe the dry cleaners had a bit of a spill way back when?

I don't know much about buttons so I don't know if any of them are special.

Still, a very interesting day.

HH!

The strangeness was in having a day where I found so many. Not usual for me. I don't even know what ones would be considered "good".

The heart medallion is very interesting too. All those translations! Kinda neat!

HH!

The brass piece that looks like a "Sorry" game piece is a hat pin back. I found four before I figured that out.

 

[Ground Inspector]

Nice buttons and Indian

I might be mistaken but I believe your heart medallion says, "I love you" in all the different languages. It's in Polish and Swedish on there as well. Neat!

[Wldbil]

Love finding old buttons, but never found that many in a hunt. Very cool!

 

[gypsybandit]

Veteran's day find a little early ...that's all.!

Seeing the back marks of the buttons helps in iding them. In Alberts book of buttons there are many variants of the Chief Petty Officer button. I think your first 2 buttons are in this class and from WWII. The third I have found myself but there are many post-1850 makers and variants, as this pattern was in use until 1941.
