Really excited about this, my best find! Having some trouble identifying it since it doesn't have any letters or numbers anywhere, but I'm hoping someone can give me some information on it

You know I seen this button before but I can not remember the ID on it, I remember the 21 stars on it.. Will have to dig deep into my memory bank. Hopefully someone can refresh it. Kewl find!

thanks! It's awesome huh? Who do you think the person is on it? My brother thinks its some kind of Greek god type character, I can't figure out if its male or female haha

Looking at the back, I think the button is 20th century if that helps. Someone will probably ID it. Try searching vintage coin buttons.

Almost looks like Bess Truman (Wife of President Truman) if i do recall i think it ended up being a WWII button, will look back later hopefully someone will know!

Yeah you're right it kinda looks like her, and I think it looks similar to this coin button here, but this is the closest thing I've found to it

Hello zogcopperhead,

Welcome to TNet, and thanks for showing your button. I believe the lady is Columbia. She is often depicted with that "hairstyle."

Columbia (name) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Illinois was the 21st State, joining the Union in 1818.

I thought it might be a button designed from a coin but I couldnt find it.

I found it right where I know there used to be old clothesline poles, so I didnt think it would be that old anyway. I still think very cool whatever the hell it is lol
