Hot, Humid Hunt... 3 buttons and a GW cuff button

[creade]

Hot, Humid Hunt.....George Washington Cuff Button...Only 3-5 exist!!!

Got out for a couple of hours before I had to quit. Covered in bug spray, sweating, eyes burning, shirt soaked. Got a tombac







A plain pewter button, pretty big. This took 25 minutes to dig out from under an 4 inch root







Some type of designed button. Its a 2-piece type, the back is obviously metal ,
All caked up with rust







And what I believe is a 1789-97 GWI 19
George Washington cuff button. It looks like a exact match from what I see from georgewashingtoninauguralbuttons.com








I could be wrong but it seems to match up under my loop.

neat find! Can you put it next to an undug one for comparison? I'm not familiar with it.

I don't know how to pull the picture from the site,I'm not that good with computers

I checked the site and couldn't find what you were referring to. If you're on you phone you could screenshot from the website and post that pic on here

 

[creade]

I tried that, my phone won't let me. Its on the page with rattlesnake buttons

Hey Creade, really nice buttons there..
See if you can take a toothpick and gently get that dirt out of some of the profile, that looks like a awsome find.

What's depicted on the cufflink I can't make anything out

 

[creade]

Its a profile of George Washington standing. Mine is really hard to see, its even hard to see in the other pic

HI Creade; Great find on that cufflink. I was thinking you could have it Cerified. If it is a GW Cufflink then it could be worth a nice buck ok. Good Luck. Let s know ok. PEACE:RONB
