I don't think they are really considered as true GW buttons, but more as patriotic buttons. Regardless, a super find I've wanted to find for a long long time. Here's a link for more info: George Washington Inaugural Buttons ? 1777 ? 1783Rattlesnake Buttonsand Later DateAmerican Patriot Buttons

Ditto on the ID - a very early patriotic button; however, the snake variety buttons are highly desired as potential finds by detectorists and specimens for collectors of early Americana. I think the snake buttons might be harder to find then the GWI buttons - a good discussion for this thread. Regardless, that's an awesome find! Congrats! By the way, a few months after I found my first snake button, I found my first GWI button. So keep swinging.

If this forum is measuring stick of that theory, then yes.
