Okay - never seen one of these exact buttons before,


looks like a deer or elk or something on the obverse?


Back says "Quality" if I'm reading correctly (and possibly has more words) but there's too much crud to be sure.


Found on an 1850s site (could be older) but that's as far back as my research goes as for property owner/s.


Stinkin Lincoln for size reference only...







 

There were many early sportsmen buttons. Most had to do with shooting and hunting. Neat find.
 

Cool button! Haven't seen one like that either. Nice find! Are you gonna clean it to try to reveal more writing or leave as is?

Thanks Brent

but since it's pretty well toasted - I'll just leave it as is and throw it in the button bin with all the others...
