    Compilation of several hunts

    This is a compilation of house, park, field hunts.

    The buttons, one backmark is Wadhams Coe & Co Extra rich....1830's. The small one is L. Kendrick Extra...1830's. The two piece I can't read the back mark. All three are gold gilt. I think I have one pewter button also.

    Got 7 wheat's, one is a 1915D another 1916.
    Also got a 1909 IH.

    Got a nice skeleton key and a estuchon plate.

    That's it for now....HH everyone

    That's a thick layer of gold on that button, Al! Don't you think skeleton keys should be more abundant?? I've only found a small handful. Yours looks to be in great shape!

    Thanks Dave. That is my 3rd 1909 but sadly no "s" mark.

    Drew, yeah its got a lot of gold left on it. The front side has a nice design but it has some of that green stuff (verdigris?) on it. If anybody knows how to remove that stuff please chime in. I agree on the skeleton keys, there should be more of them, love digging them.

    Thanks WD. Fortunately I happen to live in an area (New England) that has some history to it.

    Just a little.

    The skeleton key is my fav too!
    It's a big one from the looks of it in the picture. Sweet!
    Congrats on the keepers!

    We'll let Dan chime in on this but do you think some CLR would losen up the "green stuff"?

    Tim, I have tried using CLR but it didn't help much.

    John, If I can get the verdigris off of the Coe's button then that would turn into my fav from this hunt, but until that happens the key is it.
