[Trooper Bri]

That gold button is a beauty. Congrats on finding the companion to your other naval button. That place is doing alright for you.

Gotta love those easy off the road places for after work hunts. The gold cuff button is really nice along with those naval buttons. Sweet digs Dave, congrats on the hunt and finds.

Very nice digs! That little gilded button is a beauty. Though I must say I do like those early naval cuff buttons you've been pulling :thumbsup01:

Love all the buttons Dave Congrats! Although I was looking forward to another bee story...

Nice easy hunt, you deserve one after several of your past hunts. Nice handful of buttons, that gold gilt one is a beauty.

[The Rebel]

Nice looking finds Dave! nice save on the matching button. The plate is pretty wild that it's all in one pc.

The sailor buttons are the best.

How did that plate survive unmolested for all this time we will never know, but I am glad you were able to rescue it.

thanks,I left the plate in the woods on a tree stump.it's not all that old .no makers mark on bottom either.

the plate looked like one of those you could get by using them old S&H green stamps that you could redeem for gifts . I believe a set of plates similar to that one was one of the gifts you could get back in the 60's or 70's .

Very nice buttons. :thumbsup01:. There is sure a lot of gilt left on the cuff button. Its a beauty.
