Evening Montana dig - Seated, Postal Telegraph Button & more!

Nice hunting! That button is a fantastic save.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Eisner

He came to the US at age 21 and was born in 1859, so that means the button can't be older than 1880.

Thanks ToySoldier! I am guessing that button is ca 1900-1910 or so, appreciate your information!

Cool finds. I like that button, sweet looking seated.Happy Hunting

Thank you Diggerjonny! HH to you too!

Nice finds!

Thank you Saoirse!
 
Another outstanding montana hunt! Gotta take my daughter to the eye doctor out there in missoula here before it gets to cold lol might have to bring the box with! Congrats on the awesome finds!
 
Great saves. If the token/fob thing is aluminum, I soaked an aluminum token in lemon juice for about an hour then toothpicked the crud off. Came off easy.
