Whatever it is, it is pretty neat.

Have you cleaned it?

yes i did, was that not a good idea

Its a good idea for some & not for others. I personally only clean with water & a soft brush. Thas it. I like the green/brown patination etc. Sometimes I will clean things that have no historical value to better ID it. It's a personal preference really. However try & ID things before you clean it. If that were the only button known of that type you could have knocked $100s of it value. I hope I don't sound critical, this is meant to help. No damage done on this one, just something to think about.
