Okay, so just read up on the history of the Phoenix buttons. I assume these were the ones made for the Haitian King in the early 1800's and then later traded in the Pacific NW by Nathaniel Wyeth? That's one heck of a cool back story. The story itself explains the rarity, way to go Tom!

Don't worry there TrashmasterCCS : Those of us along the coast are green with envy at all the gold rush stuff you guys have been finding in recent years. So much so that I'm beginning to think I should be making the 3 hr. drive to invade your territory ! (But does that mean I'll owe you 30% ? )

Sweet button right there Tom

Nice save, Tom!

I only learned about Phoenix buttons from your posts - they have a pretty interesting history, and they're only found on your side of the continent. Those buttons have stories they could tell.

Congrats on another cool find.
