Found this tag. No idea what it is from. This house is across the street from where the town market was in 1889. Tag off a box? Slave tag?
Found in Indiana.
Found this button in Jun 2014. I have researched and what I have found it is civil war era. Any ideas?
The way the eagles head is facing is a big reason for my decision. The back side is gone.
Found an 181? large cent on 9-7-14 and a 1829 Large cent the next day on 9-8-14 at the same farmhouse. The farmhouse was 1890. So must have been another house before that. Property has been in same family since 1820s. Found my 3rd large cent on 11-3-14. It is a 184?.
Thought one would be hard...
