Nice purple carpet...uh...Rev War buttons, IP. :laughing9: I will never forget that "banner" button of yours.

It looks like a lot of Americans settled in your area of Canada after the war.

That is what I thought. I know of one settler, in my area, who fled to Canada during the war. When he came back to this specific PA county, the local settlers always referred to him as "The Tory B___". Were your Loyalist settlers ever brave enough to head back to the US after the war? :laughing9:

Hell no, they were loyal to Georgie and wanted no part of America.
 

Those are some sweet pieces of American history, you are one lucky man :icon_thumleft:
 

What's not to like about them :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
 

Love the buttons!! What a story they have to tell.
 

Very nice indeed. I love buttons. I would certainly love to find anyone of those in your collection. Keep on digging!

Old and interesting but unfortunately not one I can help you with. Have you ever tried to match the crown to various early military?

Looks like a Thistle on the right side, probably had one on the missing piece as well.
Its not a Crown I particularly reconise as British & a button I have never seen. However, the Thistle could lead you down the Scottish route for further info. Any early Scottish Regiments in the area?
