nice hunt Dave , some really nice buttons too. the button you mentioned is what they call a ( blow hole style ) button which is an older colonial that i wanna say 1730's - 1760's era . the button was originally two parts and when they put the two pieces together , they were extremely hot and the holes were there to release the hot gases when they fused the two halves into one piece .i heard buttons of this type were widely use on uniforms during the French and Indian War but those didn't have regiment numbers .

you should make Gary post that beautiful Nova coin on here so we can really enjoy it . :yes:

Lookin good..lookin good....looks like that site has major potential. I actually found on of those blow buttons and thought it was modern. I guess that one will be coming out of the button box and into the case. :)

Not a bad day there Mr. Dave. Buttons are cool too. I don't think I have one of those buttons, but if I do, it will make it's way out of my junk box too lol Lots of Nova's being found lately :clapping: Wait.... that drops the price of mine :crying02: :crying02: lol
