I guess that makes it a 1 piece :laughing7:
But seriously, it is my best Brass dug button, it is missing the back entirely,
a 23mm Coat, I can't find a exact match in Mr Ridgeways Archive, though it appears to be early Federal Navy, shown as dug after just a freshwater rinse.
Also, a token or seal from 'JJ Vasmingtons ACE Coffee' (I think).
something that looks like a small brass muffin tin.
A strange brass/copper marble coated with red clay,(not patina)
pipestem from Murphy/Glasgow, another mackeral jig,
brass and pewter plain buttons, lastly a piece that reminds me of the finial on those tall military hats, was hoping to find eagles on it, just floral/acanthus designs.
had a great day!, Hope you all did Too! :thumbsup:
