Cool finds!! One thing I like about this hobby, the mystery behind our finds!

The condition and the verdigris on your '71 IH is wonderful.
The West Point Cadet button is a nice find too, the two-piece brass back looks to date it from the Civil War Period.

I just love this view of West Point by George Catlin c1827.

"U.S. Army Garrison West Point's role in our nation's history dates to the Revolutionary War when General George Washington considered West Point to be the most important strategic position in America. West Point had many advantages for being selected as a site to build fortifications on the Hudson River. Vessels passing by West Point had to make a sharp, ninety-degree turn to the west, sail a quarter of a mile, then make another right-angle turn to the north as they continued upriver. These bends were sharper than any point along the Hudson, creating hazards for ships passing through. In addition to the turns in the river, the river was also very narrow, the tidal effects were the greatest, and the current was the swiftest at this location. The treacherous winds also created difficulties for ships trying to navigate through this section of the Hudson."
