My Paw Paw gave me a lot of his old finds from over the years. Many of the buttons were washed up when a rain storm would come about....Also the large military button (MY FIND) matches the smaller one that he found... Thought it was neat ! Maybe a cuff??

the matching buttons are us military"great seal buttons" --in use since 1902

the harp one might be old musicains or irish corp button. cw era ish

the two hole bone or shell buttons are also old as is the larger 4 hole bone one with the ridge aound the edge

I'm glad you found out what the T shaped one were. I just found one of them in Campwood Tx. while on the Uvalde hunt. I had no Idea what it was. Looks like some nice finds you Paw Paw gave you. Now you need to find where he was looking a give those places a visit. Good luck.....

I found one of them while I was on my Ghost Town trip with my buddy.... I had no clue what it was, it looks like some sort of 'tag'... But now that the picture is posted and I mentioned to my paw paw what they were and he said that was exactly right !

He found the majority of the buttons and stuff in his back yard in town....After some sand was poured he said...
