Button-trash or treasure??

pennypicker · Feb 29, 2016

Can't remember exactly where I found this, but I think it was near and old 50's motel that I had detected. It's copper coated and the back is rusted steel with the loop still on it. I think it's trash, but maybe someone can tell me different. Thanks for looking.

Fashion type button for a coat, jacket, blazer, etc.

One mans trash another mans treasure , I think the real value of most of the finds on here is the finding .

picture of the backmark (if it has one) is generally what can help ID it. Nice button!

I think it definitely falls in that category. His trash, my treasure. Thanks

Back and loop looks like one molded piece, but the whole back is rusted to bad to get any info off of it. Thanks

When the back is rusted out, that is a pretty good indication that it is a fashion button.

Button

Based on the design I would say it is a button manufactured by Waterbury, It is treasure if you consider collecting buttons that you find. Money wise it would be trash.

I have kept all of mine. :yes:

I think you're right.

You may be the winner!! I went to the Waterbury site and found this one. It's almost a perfect match and comes in copper or brass as well. Thanks
