Well HikerMike pretty much gave the history on the giving grounds :icon_study:

(See Reale banner find) so I am going to post some pics of my finds. So from the words from the famous sponge bob square pants song, it's my best day ever. :icon_thumleft:

I picked them up @ a civil war relic show in Charelston S.C. I am sure you could get them off the internet.

You got that right on the button. Aluminum jelly works wonders with these buttons. Geomn50 gave me some to try out and it cleaned them up better than I expected. Thanks Mark. Now I am going to need to get some more soon, any ideas where stoney56? :icon_scratch:
