[TommNJ]

Here are some of my recent finds, a old beat up pocket watch, smashed silver ring, a old buckle (how old ?), a button with a indian and eagle ?, a 1919/39-S/41 + 44 Merc and a 1908 IH. Also a AT&T Co pole insulator which doe's have a small crack in the middle back.
Any information on the buckle and button would be appreciated. Thanks for looking !

Your button is a NYC button, not a NJ button. Albert's NY 102 New York, New York City, 2 piece flat The City seal on a plain field b/m might be Scovill Mf'g Waterbury

Your find of the day is the complete colonial era(1760-90) shoe buckle!!!! Congrats on finding a whole one!!

Wonderful shoe buckle Tom, particularly with the brass pin intact!

Thank you all, for the information and replies. The buckle was found in the woods under a decomposed log pretty close to a stream, the button on a old dirt path. When I first found the buckle I kept taking it out to look at it, it's always a treat to recover something that's not bent, broken, corroded, etc. Here is a pic of the backs of both. I can only make out ?ILEBORO MAS on the button and the buckle has a stamp on it. Thanks again !

Stamping is probably Attleboro Massachusetts.
You dont find them too often.

Nice digs, especially on the shoe buckle and button. Is that insulator old??

Thanks again for your replies and help IDing the finds !

" Is that insulator old??" I think it's old but I don't know how old, the AT&T Co marking should help me get a time period on it. If it wasn't for the wire it would still be in the ground.
