More from the Old Wagon Trail

[Lamy Lineman]

Went hiking the old ruts yesterday. Got the usual shoes, shells, nuts, nails & wagon wheel shim. Best find was the General Service Button. Pics show as found and after toothpiickin.
Shells date from 1877. Didn't want to mess with the 38 shell. Didn't look like it had a headstamp.

Thanks for looking, and HH.

Good job! Looks like an 1850s Scovill button backmark.

It is fun gathering up the history like that! I like the button and the iron stuff!
