I think " self-regeneration and rebirth" is rather fitting for a new nation ,
and the ecitement of building new nation
a good colonial American Artifact

not trying to bust your chops on your find, but the Lotus flower item isn't a colonial artifact. It's a modern zipper pull

Thank you, can you send me an example, did they make gilt silver zip pulls?

Nice old button finds, regarding the pendant/zipper pull, that hatching pattern is something I've only seen on modern non precious metal articles, though I have seen some marked as precious metal.
