I dug this button at a colonial location in southern Ct. It's a domed, one piece button.
I can see an older type eagle under the surface scaling. I haven't decifered all the markings on the back yet but I can make out "triple gilt". (pictured next to a dime)
Questions for the experts:
1) Can you identify it re vintage, type, model etc?
2) Will removing the scaling destroy the eagle features?
3) If it's OK, what is the best way to remove the scaling?
Thanks, Bruce Ct
