Restored pics of a G.W. Button found on October 20th.

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Back in October I was lucky enough to find an older home site. Many holes dug and many keeper finds. One of those finds was a G.W. Button, #2 for me! The button was bent in half. IRON PATCH told me about Leonard Short. He restores relics, and quite well I must add! So I contacted Leonard, and away the button went.

It arrived today in the mail. I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

Wow that looks great!!! How much did that cost to fix?

Obviously a very skilled craftsman!

Thank You for the replies. I am VERY HAPPY with Leonards work. He will be working on another button for me in the near future.

I would rather not get into the cost of the restoration. I dont want to cause any trouble for Leonard when it comes to cost of his work. I will say that it was VERY reasonable! I would have paid more...
If you have something that you are considering having some work done on, google his name and you should find the info you seek. You wont be dissapointed!
