Had a great weekend MD-ing in Lancaster, MA. Found a TON of stuff at a cellar hole with NJLARGECENT. Much more to ID, but let's start with the buttons I found! Buttons seem to be difficult (at least for me) to ID.
Some info on the cellar hole: We found some other items (Indian head penny, jar lids, etc.) that dates the property to the mid-1800s. Doesn't mean people weren't there before or after, but we know definitely during that time. Toasted modern penny included for scale :-)
This is either an O or a C with a ribbon through it:
This has a leaf/wreath design:
Brooks Bros New York. I can't seem to date it:
Button with train on it. I believe 72cheyenne properly dates it in this thread: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/119353-train-button.html This was found at another location, about a mile away near an old cemetery, hence being a little "newer."
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
