Hey guys
Buddy of mine called me in the am to let me know the town was ripping up an area where at tavern used to be in 1711. Hit it for about 2 hrs. Got 3 coppers a 1822, 1843, and a dateless george. Also got this interesting button I cant seem to find any info about. It is a two piece gold gilted button, had a train on the front, backmark reads John R Ferrell PAT D Nov 16th 1875. Any in fo would be appreciated.

Nice button! I found a John R Farrell button manufacturer 1853-1904, but no other info.
 

The John R Ferrell Company produced buttons from 1853-1904. Great finds!

Beautiful Button, :icon_thumright: , Congrats!
