Flat button with Latin writing on the back????????pic added
May 10, 2016 10:38PM
Hey guys. I found an interesting flat button. It looks like any other early 1800 flat button but this one has what looks like latin writing along the back edge . I dont know if I have an early political button or what. I will try to write the letters down later . They are weird shaped letters. Have any of you guys found anything thing like this? I found this button along with a 1812 artillery button and a 1780's 1/2 Reale

See, I knew it. I purposefully didn't scroll down because I figured Keith had it all figured out, and I wanted to figure out that text......I couldnt, so I scrolled down, and "sigh" there is the answer.... very cool button, and Keith I am just ribbing you. I am amazed at your knowledge of everything artifact related.
