Rare Early 1800's US Diplomatic Button Dug Sunday
Well i went out to check a new house site spot today, and after finding it the picking were a little slim but i was not doing a thorough search like i normally do, decided to leave and come back another day, got home and looked at this big flat button and noticed the shield on it. Well i immediately called a buddy of mine and headed over to his place to show him this button. Well he was able to determine for me that it is a pretty rare US Diplomatic button, probably very early 1800's. Its a variation of Albert's OD 5A, back mark is W & R Smith. Pic's do not do the button justice, looks much much better in person. But I am still blown away to have dug a Diplomatic button.
