Wadhams sports button

[lrgoodger]

It's not in that great of shape, but from what I can find out it is quite rare. I would think even without the shank and slightly bent, it would be worth something just to say you have one in your collection. Details are sharp and clear anyway. Anyone have any idea what something like this would bring?

Nice button.

I understand that the company was Wadhams, Coe & Co from 1835-37; Wadhams, Webster & Co. from 1838-1848 and then Wadhams & Co. from 1847-1849.

I don’t know what it’s worth, but if you or a helpful member has a WorthPoint account (I don't), there will be an eBay ‘sold’ price here for one in better condition (if it actually sold):
