Wicked Cool Large Old Navy Button

[OxShoeDrew]

Had 90 min to play with so I went back to the place were I found the picture of the people that lived at the cellar hole. I asked them if they might tell me where to look. Hey, I'll try anything. I worked one side of the hole lip and found these keepers. Thanks, Drew

Nice find. It's still got a lot of detail still present. Attleboro was once known as the Jewelry Capital of the World.
