Reale, royal artillery button, French button

[Stan Milgram]

I had a great day today with a friend. We hit a field I've hunted many times, but we did well. I found the one Reale (my first), the artillery button, and this French button, which has an eagle on it and says, "je renais de mrs cendres", translated, "I am reborn from my ashes". A Phoenix button. Also, the colonial era spoon. What a great day.

That reale looks fantastic! Some of the best detail I've seen on a Spanish Silver. Those buttons are great too, nice finds!

Whoa! Yeah, same button. My hunting buddy found the same one yesterday, but his still has the gild on it! Thanks for the link. I wonder what this guy will actually get for his button.

I knew it was rare as soon as I spotted it on your post but I have little idea of what they actually sell for. That button was the find of the day!

PS. I've seen a few 1734's posted before some 'nearly' as nice as yours but no No.2 buttons!
