GORGEOUS! never seen a S & A war button before.was it a cellar hole site?
its a great looking button Rick and in outstanding condition |:cheering: |:cheering: but it appears to be a Spanish military coat button and not an American Military one but still from that time period (Spanish American War) heres a link of the Spanish ones and yours is the third one down .
