Awesome discovery, and not the first being found it seems.
At the time of the other member there was only 5 documented.

Clearly a really rare button-and in such lovely condition.
This is a top shelf-BANNER recovery for sure. Congrats.

Here's a link to his best find-though he hasn't been around for 6 yrs it seems.
