Hi folks,
So I went to an older military installation and was very excited to dig up these two buttons. I suspect they are pre-WWII. I included a picture with a dime for size comparison. The smaller button says Horstmann Philadelphia on the back and the larger one says N.S. Meyer New York.
These are the first buttons I've ever found. Is there any way to date them? Also, is it possible to clean/polish them? Or is it similar to coins where it is better to leave them in their current condition? Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks for the help!!
