Script 'Regiment of Artillerists' Button

Greetings all!
glad to see the site back up.
found a few items over the last day or two,
I'm really happy with this 2nd regiment, as I dug a '3rd' last year
the 'Bryan' watch fob has an interesting history, can't find an exact match, but believe it's from the 1896 Democratic Convention, here's some background:

I'm all for 'Free Silver'!
also got a tombac and a tiny button with a flower in a pot, and sunburst back.
Thanks for looking & great digs to you all!

Like both the button and the fob! Political items don't have to be real old to be very interesting.

Any War of 1812 era button is an awesome find as far as I'm concerned

However, when it comes to Script "A" Artillery, you and I are on the same page

I have only found two of them myself...... 2nd Regt & 3rd Regt

Great button Steve!
My 3rd is missing the bottom of the 3, but you can differentiate it from the 2nd by the foliation, You have a prime example! thanks for posting
