That is one of the badest southern state buttons you can dig man! Either the FL Cherokee Rose or Arkansas button might be ahead of it and me being a North Carolinian would always put that above it. Banner all day long my friend. If you ever want to part with it let me know, serious bucks man. Kudos

I'm scared to do any cleaning

I agree, I wouldn't do much cleaning on it myself. I have used aluminum jelly before and if left for to long on the button it will hurt it. That is an awesome find!! I found a beautiful Block R button a year or so ago at a civil war site in NC and all the experts have said it doesn't exist because no one has found one a variation like it.

Congratulations!!
