That U S button turned out good. What did the shank end up looking like?

Gorgeous buttons. I love them! Great job saving them

Wow, that's really neat! Samuel Adams and Paul Revere were just about ready to bury their time capsule when that button was in use.

WOW! Those buttons are so great and historical, I could never imagine finding any of them. Greats on those beauties, you are very lucky to find something that historical. You should go back there a lot, there was probably a small early battle fought there and the chance for more great relics. Again, Congrats on those incredible finds, you deserve them!
