[DALPAL]

Very exciting find. Calabash
I sent a link from your picture to Robert Silverstien who is a expert on GW buttons and the misc items from that era. I would be surprised if he is not familiar with it. When I hear back I will pass on any info.

Thanks for the comments.. John Adams GGG grandson contacted me and wanted to use some of my images of the piece.. That's way cool in my book.

DUUUUDE, that is way cool! Wow.

This is a joke (sort of), but maybe he has some new permissions.

Can you say, "better than a military button?"

Very nice find. Congrats.

Are we going to get to see a Youtube video of you digging it up?

Congrats on such an awesome find !!!!
Would like to more history about the piece, who made it, etc. when you gather it.
Best to you and yours in the new year !

 

[Calabash Digger]

Its not known who made it . Its so rare not much info on it at all.

It also shows how times have changed. When do you think the practice of honoring Presidents with cufflinks and buttons ceased? Certainly before my lifetime? Or maybe it is still a tradition I am unaware of? I found an expired auction for JFK cufflinks but not sure they were from that era or repops? I sure wish there was more information on the Adams cufflinks. Incredible stuff.

 

[Calabash Digger]

I wish there was too. It was stated that the maker that made the GW buttons might be the maker of the Adams button.

Sounds like a job for the History Detectives on PBS ...... would be pretty cool to see if it’s possibly a national presidential treasure or ?
It would certainly be a good episode to watch.

Wow, CD! I can't even imagine digging something like that! Did you have an idea what it was when you first dug it?
