This is a button I just
found, only partially cleaned.
It appears that approximately
95% of the gilt is still in tack
as is the back of the button.
This button is listed in
Albert's uniforms and historical
buttons as #152B page 429. It is
listed as a button of the Van
Buren and Harrison Campaign
which occurred in 1840. What
amazes me most about this button
is that it is not only 161 years
old, but could have been
possibly been in the ground that
long, but also I know for a fact
that the ground it was found in
has been under water since the
1940's, and the button is still
in great condition with the gold
present |
