US Rosette! But what era??

[asmerri]

Chose to swing the coil instead of eating lunch today. I'm glad I did! Found this around 10" down beneath what was an old gravel driveway. It certainly appears to be a military bridal rosette but does anyone know what era? Thanks in advance!

Horse&buggy era ? LOL. It would seem to be military.

1850-1890's is my geuss

1800's would be awesome! I was thinking WW1 era but if the US vs. Great Seal design usage on rosettes follows the same timeline as buttons, it has to be pre WW1.

Its a great military relic, no matter what era it ends up being from. All I can tell you is I found one that is from WW1 and it looks different than yours. I dont know if yours would be earlier or later.

A great guy to ask would be Cannonballguy or Buckleboy. Both of these gentlemen are full of knowledge, or something else just joking

Try sending them a PM.

I'm not around my relic books right now but I think this is Spanish American War era.

congrats,

Here is a Tnet link that may help, although yours looks bigger.
