NAVY - MARINES & MISC. ANCHOR BUTTON THREAD

[Iron Patch]

With all the mini discussions that break out on Navy/Marines/Anchor buttons, I figured a thread to post em would be a good idea. So feel free to add anything you have.

Have a couple.

Always liked that Royal Navy Packet service, and unless I also pop on at the King's site it's one I'm quite sure I'll never find.

Just when it seemed like digging was getting close the snow blows in.

Nice butts all.
These Ain't pretty, but,
They ARE early issue USN ca 1800, they were found together,
along with an 1820 Maine state militia button, these USNs measure 25 mm
The backs are even more corroded, possibly a ring of stars there.
Design matches Alberts NA37, which is listed as 24mm
Great thread, thanks all and HH
