Cleaned Pix !! NH Militia Button

[steelheadwill]

Bought a jar of old buttons at a yard sale this summer,
found two nice Scovilles, donated one to the local Historical Society.
Pulled a black lump while hunting today, recognized it right away,
Did a hot peroxide soak for 30 minutes & took a chip off the back,
backmark looks identical to the one I have.
I think this 'toasted' find will clean up nicely
Thanks for looking & HH

Re: NH Volunteer Militia Button

Thanks for all Your replies!
An overnight peroxide soak loosened the crust,
Wish that all my crusty finds cleaned up this nice.
Most details are intact, the staining is a shame,
Guess I'll just break out the brasso & wirewheel
I find it amazing to dig an exact Duplicate of the Purchased Button.
Good Day & HH

Nice one Herbie, cleaned up better then I exspected. Always great to get a button from your home state.
