George Washington inaugural button

[Qlone]

Hello,. Hit up an old house site near a Continental army River crossing. Popped this out thinking it was just a fancy flat button.....Well I guess it is a fancy flat button technically.

A beauty of a button!

That's about as nice as they come. I would try dry cleaning only to save the patina. I use toothpicks and a chip brush.

Congrats, and welcome to the club.

Sick one! That's my favorite design of them too. Absolutely killer condition too.

Great find. I dug an Eagle with Star variety years ago and didn't even know what a GW Inaugural button was at the time ! Congrats !

 

[Gridwalker306]

I'm with Scrappy, just a gentle dry brush on that thing. It's freakin gorgeous.

I also agree with Argentium, that's a bannerworty button for sure!

Congratulations!

Wow.

A guy around me found one exactly like that and sold to a private buyer for close to $10,000.
