1800's house- Shadowbox completed for owner
On Friday I went back to the spot where I dug the CSN button. I dug up lots of square nails but not another CSN button. While there, I asked permission from the owner of the house next door, and she said "o.k.". A very nice lady too. Here house was built about 1875.
I only had about an hour of light left so I made a quick hunt through the yard. On my second hole by a large old Oak, I came up with this nice old flower button. Not a CSN, but I'll take it.
Here are my finds from my 1 hour hunt at this new spot:
*20mm Flower button - no back mark or shank.
*A decorative (Victorian ?) rectangular piece.
I have no idea what this was as there are no solder points anywhere on it like on a brooch or buckle.
*Lantern piece
*Suspender clip with decoration & text
*1800's padlock
*Ornate spear piece
*Tri-ang (England) toy piece (circa 1950's)
*Rusty metal plate with a small brass plate attached to it.
Here is the history on the Selig company:

I'll be hitting this spot more this coming week.
Thanks for looking,
MM
