This remains one of my favorite finds. Its a patriotic button with a Rattlesnake motif. I know quite a few of you guys have found these. I'd love to see a nice variety posted here.

I wanted to find a Rattlesnake button since I first found out they existed. That would have been about 1992 when I was living in Texas. About 6 years later I'm back in Pennsylvania and lo and behold I find one! About 10 years later I find another on the same site. Both are the Rattlesnake and Stars variety. Now I want to find some other variants, like the Rattlesnake and Eggs and the Rattlesnake and Liberty Pole, but I know it won't be easy. My friend Thad just found a cuff size Rattlesnake and Stars - yeah I'll take one of those too!

Here are both of mine.

I was little too aggressive cleaning the first one. I was more careful with the second.

Greetings, very nice find! I’m doing a major paper on the self devouring snakes. They are being reclassified! They are older than the American Revolution and more valuable.

That's great.
Here in Australia we had a gold buyer come to central Victoria in the 90s to early 2000s from the USA.
We all knew him as Rattlesnake Jim Great guy. He once brought here some eggs which he said were Rattlesnake eggs. He would say "hey, they are real" and put one in a person's hand and they would vibrate. Naturally the person would freak out and drop it. They were joke eggs. But they would vibrate and make a rattle sound. So funny. I liked him, was a funny guy. 😆

Hello Gary,
I have not used my computer much since the hack put spyware in my email system he also did the same thing to your computer as I recall and wiped out your files. Good to see you working on the rattlesnake material. I made a major hit on information regarding these rattlesnake buttons.
