1789 GEORGE WASHINGTON BUTTON ~ STAR AND EAGLE

[60streeter]

YESTERDAY WAS A CRAZY GOOD DAY! THIS BEAUTY CAME OUT OF THE CHIMNEY STACK. I DONT THINK IT WAS EVER WORN!! LOVE FINDING RELICS IN CHIMNEY PILES, FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST OF ALL THEY KEPT THEIR BEST STUFF AROUND THE FIRE PLACE AND SPECIFICALLY THE MANTLE, SECONDLY A LOT OF TIMES RELICS GET SAVED BETWEEN THE ROCKS AND BRICKS AND ARE PROTECTED AND OFTEN TIMES THE SOIL IS SANDY WHICH IS ANOTHER POSITIVE. VIDEO CAN BE FOUND IN MEMBER LINKS. AN OVERNIGHT PEROXIDE BATH, AND FINALLY JUST A LITTLE RUB ON THE FOREHEAD, AND I AM IN LOVE! I WILL RETURN.... THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT THESE WERE SOLD IN SETS OF FOUR. HH!

Wow that’s a great find and it’s in amazing shape! I would go over that stone stack very hard.

That is awesome, great for you. I was thinking of going out this weekend if I don't work to much. Will do a ground freeze check tomorrow and see.

Thats a beauty!

 

[vmc1161]

Hey, I’m just curious. It’s stamped on both sides. Is that one single piece or is it two pieces soldered together? It sure is sweet.

Ok so how many you have now? 12? I'll trade you a 1/2 Reale for one man that one cleaned up real nice. Congrats again, super jealous!
