Like most of my fellow Northeastern US detectorists, I've had the mid-winter itch. Last night, while perusing through my pile of buttons, I came across one that I had thrown into the pile without much consideration. I could tell there would be some detail beneath the packed dirt.
To my surprise, the detail was better than expected! The front of the button is concave and shows detail of a butterfly and some sunflowers. The reverse has the shank in tact and is convex.
The quality and detail of the button lead me to believe that this is an older button. I have never come across a concave button or one with this type of pictorial detail.
Does anyone have an idea of what this button may have been use for or when it could have been made? A huge fail on my behalf because I cannot remember where I even dug this button!
Thank you for any info that you can provide.
