Is it pewter or... ?

Any chance you can clean it?

Do you agree it's a woman in a dress or skirt?

Try scrubbing bubbles and a q-tip or a toothpick.

Don't. It's about as good as it will get. Very cool early button!

Or don't! :)

I should have noted it's best not to clean it of you're concerned about value and petina, or resale. It's not something I'm ever worried about - but Iron Patch has good advice.

I was thinking the same thing, nothing will clean pewter better than it is. Looks great to me, 1780ish What do you think, never seen a Woman blowing a pipe/instrument?? Not military but very nice & early!

Does that look like a drilled turret shank to you broken off?

Probably not, the vast majority are civilian.

The best that is military, is probably C. Light Dragoons, but the one above is not.

PS... I also have a very cool horse and rider button. I posted it several years ago but many people didn't seem to see what I see... what was very to me. I'm pretty sure it was just a matter of them not having an eye for buttons/detail. I'll post it in a bit.

I see a woman with big feet, right hand on hip, drinking a Pepsi, but Im probably wrong..

I see your horse, Ironpatch, very clearly.

I see the mold mark on both these buttons that may help in dating them. Could the shanks be cast all in one piece with the button?
