Keiser, I think I saw this on another thread and commented on it there. Was that one your's also? This design is listed in Albert's as a 'patriotic button'. These patriotics came out after the war. Your's is a "PC 4, 22mm. Relative value 25". Very nice button!

LOL, two of the same buttons found the same week I guess, the other one on this forum I believe was found in Virginia John. Super find, that is a great Patriotic button, would love to find one of them. My friend Steve from Western Pa also has found one.

Thank's y'all ! That is pretty cool ! I thought the button was familiar.I was so syked on the LC's that I dident pay it much mind till I took a closer look and was thinking that 13 stars and the snake would have to be something 17's...possibly military.The two LC's are my oldest so far so I was pretty happy with them...but I like the button best.

Actually, I found mine years ago as a kid, I just posted it because I recently "found" it again in my collection & wanted to know more about it. It was in a frame of relics that I left at my parent's house when I moved out. They brought it down last time they came to visit after finding it in a closet.
