🥇 BANNER Pres. John Adams & Other Goodies!

[The Rebel]

Got out with my friend Frank today to hit up some sites up north. Ran into a Black bear (no pictures) as we were shouting & banging our shovels to scare it away. Happened upon a porcupine and back off.

Got a pair of Pres. John Adams cufflinks as well as 2 buttons. The Buckle is silver but my guess it's silver plated. Need to do some research on the cufflinks, been a long day!

I really don't understand the banner system on this new forum. Of all things to make the banner, these super rare and vey valuable pieces of history should be among them. Especially being a complete set!

Thanks, I agree as well. Perhaps caught the site on a slow day lol.

I'm literally finding nothing on them.

Those are very special cuffs!! As for banner they should be up top quick...These things are VERY RARE and you really cant find much info on them because they are so rare. They are worth a lot of money also...

I wasn't sure on the banner vote system as well, but I read up on the details. It's real simple. Simply click on arrow in the green box that appears with the OP's finds at the start of the thread. The count goes up. The higher it goes, the more likely the find makes banner. I'm vote number 35 - an easy vote for such a fantastic piece of rare political memorabilia.

Anyone had a scan from American Political Badges And Medalets of the page that describes this button or can post a link to an online version of the book?

 

[Colonial Digger]

Have to say those are amazing Cuffs!! Great relic finds.

 

[Calabash Digger]

I did not really find much info out there on them. They are so rare there really is not a lot out there. I can tell you that one John Adams Cuff brought 8 grand ....They are rare!

Heard back from the NPS. They wanted to know if I wanted to donate them or sell them. I told them neither, just looking for more info.

What's a guy gotta do to make banner??

I think it is sorta random really, and solely at the discretion of the powers that be. I don't think votes mean doodily-squat.

It's hard enough to find any early connected cufflink. I'm late, but voting banner.

 

[Sam Holden]

That's an amazing find! I voted banner #45

Still not up top These are rare....

I don't know why either based on how rare these are. I went back to that site yesterday and pounded the hell out of it & did not find the other set.

 

[Calabash Digger]

I beat the site to death where I found mine...The other one never showed up...

 

[The Rebel]

Well to date have not heard back from the John Adams NPS.

Now, let's get these up on the banner like they deserve!

Sensational finds! Love your pointy friend too...
