Apropos for this Veteran’s Day: 🇺🇸🪖
Found this on a permission I’ve been detecting for a year, house built c. 1870. (Couple doors down from c. 1770 house & this was once part of that property.)
I’ve found buttons from a merchant marine uniform on this property and have traced it to a young man who lived there and served in the m.m. during WWII. (Sadly, he died when his ship was torpedoed in 1945. 😪) Anyway this button is different. Weird shank. Any ideas to date or whether it too might have been on a uniform? Can’t find anything much like it in my research.
