Here's a political button and it's the best one I've ever found down here in South Carolina.I've been offered quite a bit for it from a collector but just can't part with it, It's just too rare of a find and means a lot to me. It's a button made in France near the end of the revolutionary war (collector says 1780's.) Its got a snake( like the famous don't tread on me ) plus 13 eggs for the 13 original colonies. This type snake button is pretty much regionally only found in the South Carolina coastal Georgia area. I think a couple have come from the Savannah area but I doubt more than 10 -15 of this type have ever been found down in the lowcountry anyway. It makes it a pretty hard to come by button and was probably worn by some high ranking SC official that dealt with the French. I've only viewed a couple here and there but this is the prettiest dug one I've ever seen. Hope you enjoy the pic!
