    This other pewter button had a nice floral design, this one is getting the glue dipping.

    First time ever finding a buckle this complete, though the buckle is broke, it has a nice design.

    ...And finally a beautiful silver Thimble, I can't believe how nice it is, not squashed, or even a dent. I believe this is not very old, maybe early to mid 1900's, It does have Silver Hallmark inside and "Made in the USA" but still a beauty.

    The thimble and buckle are beautiful. Plus, you topped them off with a GW!

    More great finds from that place. Solid! Silver thimbles are on the bucket list of many, so consider yourself lucky! I checked that one off just last year.
