Gold Gilted Two-Piece Button

[Guest 1551]

I went out for my first hunt of 2015 today with a forum buddy. It was my first time hunting with someone and it was fun! My best find for the day was this beautiful 1880s two-piece button. I first thought i had my first CSA button due to the script C on the front. That C is identical to CSA buttons, but unfortunately it wasnt. Its in great shape and has a lot of gilt left. The pictures dont do it justice. This button is gorgeous. I also found three piece off of a printing press! It was a blast.

Cool button and printing press plate pieces! What sort of metal are they made of?

We believe its somewhat of a mix of lead and copper. or copper coated lead

You have a type of late Victorian Livery Button of anyone that had the Surname being with a C. Here is an example of an 'E' of the same period, belonging to the Eggors:

Nice button! I've found alot of those printing press pieces in a field I hunt. Every year the plow turns up a few more. I've been trying to figure out how old they are for awhile.
