I found this button yesterday at Davy Crockett's uncle's homestead. Joseph Crockett was a revolutionary war soldier I've been researching and hunting there about a year now. He led a very interesting life and is buried here at his old homestead (house was re-built in the spot though, in 1948) but I'm determined to find some remnants, like bullets from his funeral, brass buckles from his shoes or perhaps brass button or two thumbsup01 I found perhaps one of his stirrups.
I'll share a slideshow I made about this place about a yr ago. Until then here's the button I'm curious about, I haven't found anything online yet. Maybe some of you know.... it's a pic of train- pretty detailed. I worked on it a little, scraping gently. My mom and I thought it was a steamer and wheel at first lol
