That button is gorgeous. The detail of the die work is exquisite, and all of the trappings and rigging of that old cannon are visible. That is something special right there. Treat it with kindness and honesty and pray like crazy that it never leaves you.
The rest of us will be waiting to snap up that button if things ever go wrong between the two of you!
