Dave, I found a button yesterday and was trying to figure out what the back mark said. I happened on this thread and saw you found the same button (my floral pattern is slightly different). The letters I could make out match your's. |:cheering:
I yelled to my wife, boy, I'm lucky when I saw this.
Thanks, and great hunt all around. Permission,finds,cleaning,posting...excellent as always.
