✅ SOLVED Old Farm find in southwest Virginia

[RVRoamer76]

Has anyone seen a button like this one? Very Old Farm find today. Quite large as you can see.
Have noticed none of the patterns around the button are the same.


Thanks for any help!

"Dandy" button is correct. The late 18th century saw the high point in button making of all time. A lot of the buttons were hand made and at this point in time are very collectible and can get expensive. You have a very nice button there.
