That's a beauty Calabash. Looks to be pre-CW.

 

[calabash digger]

[Digger_O'Dell]

Wow, that's a beauty! Congrats!

 

[CTTodd]

Great button !!:thumbsup02: looks like its hiding a it of gold gilt right around the eagles wings too !

 

[calabash digger]

how do I get the gold gilt to shine?

 

[calabash digger]

Or do I need to just leave it alone as I do all my buttons except one I let my partner use aluminum jelly on it.

A little CLR with cold water handy. Soft tooth brush. Just a little scrub and than back in the water. Just my "two cents." It's a beauty. erfect10:

It definitely appears to be hiding some gilt under there. Great button!

 

[catskillcomics]

very nice, Im still waiting to find mine..

 

[Tony Two-Cent]

That button is in amazing condition! The shank is perfectly straight too. I hope some CLR and a soft toothbrush will expose the gilding.

Beautiful find! :notworthy:

:congrats:
