1750 Federal Revenue Cutter Button

[TheCaribbeanDigger]

Hello folks, its me again! [emoji16] Wondering whats up with this button. I found it on an early 1800’s hacienda farm along with some other relics and my cut spanish silver from Curacao Dutch colony. The thing is that this really intrigues me. Captivating my imagination wondering what this little guy saw, went through and if it could only talk and told its story. How this button ended up here in Puerto Rico. This division apparently started in the mid 1750’s US. The americans came to PR in 1898. Again there where many people that lived on this island that where not necessarily spaniards. Chinese, Romanian, Europian you name it. But this little button is old (1700’s old) and HOW did it end up here? This is simply one of the things that I love from this hobby! Ive looked around online. Apparently this button is rare I think. Any who knows a thing or two about this please do chime in![emoji106]🏻

There was no "US" in 1750. No "Federal" either. That number refers to the catalog listing of the button. Not the date.

Still a great find. 1840 to 1860 era. Mexican/American War to Civil War era.
