Recent button find. LA State Seal

[BladeRunner2019]

Hi all.

I had posted this in the "Today's Finds" forum asking for an ID. I was not familiar with the Louisiana state seal buttons, but was thrilled to learn about them. T-Net is such a great source of information.

It's not in the greatest condition with both the front and back pushed in some, but I'm happy to have it.

Hope y'all don't mind the cross posting.

Thanks guys! I was shocked to find it where I did. New school grounds, but there had been an old house site there. Going to go back soon and see if there is anything else there.

Truth, once I found mine and started researching, I saw your thread. Yours is in much better shape than mine. Congrats man! You have been killing it lately.

civilman1, I completely understand what you mean. My 2 hunting buddies have both found US belt plates so I kinda hate them sometimes.

Actually the Pelican feed her babies squid is a bit of a misnomer. The scene depicted is a heraldic charge called "pelican in her piety" this represents a brown pelican, (the official state bird), wounding her breast to feed her young from her own blood, a symbol emblematic of Christian charity. Not trying to be a smart a$$, but I learned a lot of info about the symbol and these buttons when I was researching the one in my avatar.
