New site gives up william h harrison campaign button

[RelicDude]

So today I spent about an hour hunting a new site i found in the middle of know where. The site is very junky but i got one keeper an 1840 William h Harrison log cabin campain button with a Robinson back mark. When I first picked it up I thought it was quite odd for a log cabin to be on a button. But I'll take it. Thanks for looking

Any ideas of value?

Nice one! Those are cool buttons. That one has gilt in all the right places. I dug two of them at a small house site about 15 years ago. I dug a Harrison campaign token with the log cabin about 2 years ago. I would love to add more to my collection.

That's a cool button. The button finds are very underrated in my opinion.

That's a nice looking button.

Thanks everyone and I do agree buttons are underrated I get just as excited finding a sweet button as i do digging an old coin.

Did you dig two of the same variety?

Those are great buttons to have. I would imagine that the value would be $100 or so, just a guess. My girl dug one that had the cabin and said "Harrison and Reform" years ago in Kentucky. They are Not common finds. And yours cleaned up beautifully.

Congrats,

Buck

Very nice find! What kind of container is that that is housing the button for display? I am trying to figure out how to best display my buttons that I have found so far.

The container s work really well for buttons and coins I picked them up brand new in the packaging from a tag sale. I got six frames for a dollar .

Beautiful... I invited a friend's relative (visiting from Conn.) onto a Seminole War fort in Florida, several years ago; and, he found a Log Cabin Ben H. Token. It, too was in a wooded hammock concealed by Palmettos and that Fla. site dated to the late 1850's.
