First one of these I think Ive ever found so happy to have it. Always nice to find a new type of colonial relic to add to the collection and being the only good keeper of the day makes it even better
These were most popular ca 1750's. I found a scant few on the Brandywine PA battlefield of 1777, they must have been on old coats. Great find. I haven't found one in quite a while.
Looks to be a much more common colonial find North of the Mason Dixon line for whatever reason. Im sure I would have found more if this was not the case. Id rather be in cob country then blowhole button country lol
