Ghost town find???

[gardenscott]

Found this in 1880’s ghost town out west. Brass about the size of a half dollar. Looks like a Quaker playing a fiddle. It is broken on one side. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Nice find! It almost looks like an old money clip. HH

It does look like Buster Brown. They would give you a prize when you bought a pair of Buster Brown shoes.

Very cool.

Is there anything between his head and what ever he is holding in his right hand? There appears to be some dirt there in pic. I first thought a hunter holding rifle in right hand and wearing a fringe jacket. Hope you figure out what it is. Cool find. Good luck.

Hes holding the violin funny, like its a farm implement

Whatever the image is, (a careful cleaning might enlighten us,) It appears to be a button cover for a double breasted garment, possibly. It would slip over two side by side buttons (one side is missing the button cover disc, obviously.) Great find! Sub

Thanks, and I thought so looking at that old adobe and the light in your photo. What part are you in?

Okay, I was curious if you might be in my neck of the desert. Lots of history up there in that area.
