That's better than you think... it's a surgeon at sea navy officer button. Not a common find at all. (note it's a serpent and not rope on the anchor)

 

[joesdigs]

Wow that's crazy!!!!! Can't stop lookin at it

Very nice button indeed! Wonderfully preserved! What a story it could tell!

Thanks for sharing.

HH!

Thanks guys... Yes what a story indeed as it was found beside a fort on the river where many battles took place. Any idea on the brass plate in my other post guys It's way old and beautiful.

There's an earlier Hammond mark which off the top of my head I am fairly sure is the 1812 period one. Hammond turner & Dickerson (sp?)

Awesome...

Not really, it may have gone on a small box, like a snuff box.
