I posted these buttons in the relic section,hoping to get an ID on them,guess I'll try here.
The united buttons back mark says American button co. Newark N.J.
The log cabin buttons back mark is Ives Kendrick & Co Extra , I know that it is a campain button from the Harrison campain,but would like to know what varity? These both came from old home sites in Illinois.

The American Button Co. made buttons from 1901 to 1920. The Ives Kendrick & Co. made buttons in the 1830's. Nice finds! Breezie

The second button is a William Henry Harrison political campaign button from the 1840 election. It is listed as PC 146B in Albert.

And it is quite a nice find! :thumbsup:
