Hello to all. I have shamefully been absent from here for many years. Sometimes life gets in the way….
I really need help identifying this button and perhaps an age range. This is really troublesome as the back mark is almost completely worn off. Its diameter is 14mm. I believe I can see the letter “W” which I positioned at 12 o’clock. There might be a letter “T” at the 10 o’clock position but I am not positive. It appears there is maybe a star design on each side of the shank. The letters are raised.
This was found in West Texas. The railroad came through here in 1882 but before that it was primarily Native Americans (Apaches) and a few soldiers. Im leaning towards A drop by a Native as it was found near a seasonable waterhole. The only other artifact found at this site was a cut nail (square nail). Both artifacts were found about twenty feet away from a lone wikiup ring.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been trying to determine different Native trails and soldier trails through the region.
