My best Button so far!

[Cycluran]

The site where I found this is along the route that George Washington used on his way to Yorktown. I did some Googling and found this on the George Washington Inaugural Buttons website - late 1700's Patriotic button, probably made in France for America. It says that an example was sold at auction, but I haven't any idea what it's value really is. I know it's rare, but has anyone seen one sold?

Hey, I JUST found one of those two days ago! Almost the same, except for some differences in the Liberty Cap

Yup! I saw a pic of your button in a button book that a friend had brought over. Congrats! Rev War history there.

I have only seen them in books, pictured next to G.W. buttons,haven't really seen any found till recently.I would imagine they are pretty scarce!
