OLD S.F. POLICE BUTTON

[Capt.E]

WE TOOK A TRIP TO THE SF BAY AREA THIS WEEKEND AND HUNTED GOLDEN GATE PARK AND I POPPED OUT THIS BUTTON. A S.F. POLICE BUTTON WITH THE BACKMARK OF WATERBURY AND SCOVILL MFG . DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO ON IT? ALSO AN 1882 SEATED LIBERTY DIME WITH SOMEONES INITIAL ON THE BACK AND WHAT I BELIEVE IS ANOTHER BUTTON BUT CANT GET IT CLEAN BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS WRITING ON IT. A SILVER RING AND A SILVER STAR AND A METAL WINCHESTER SHOTGUN CASING AND A JUNIOR FIRE MARSHALL TOY RING AND $20 DOLLARS IN CHANGE.

That park has got to have been hammered for years!!! Good job and nice finds. Sorry, can't help with the ID.

Nice dig's

Nice finds. I wonder if that peace ring was dropped during the "summer of Love" from the Hayte/Ashbury clan I know they used to hang out in that park

 

[Trezurehunter]

Nice finds. The Seated Lib coin was probably a love token.

Nice digs.

Pounded isnt even a good description of how hard that park gets hit!!It still gives up the goods though!Nice finds!

Pretty cool finds....Been there ....sadly without my MD.......


using google search- The Scovill Manufacturing company produced brass objects such as buttons, screws, and tools in Waterbury, Connecticut, from 1802 to 1956.......

Nice going, you don't see many seateds coming out of GGP, let alone seated love tokens

That's a cool button, I'd be careful cleaning it (there's a button cleaning guide posted here), might be fairly rare
