Hi,
Let me start by saying I know absolutely nothing about buttons. I found this today. From what I can tell this is a Great Seal button and was probably made by Evan's and Co. due to the letters NORTHATTLE... on the back.
Can anyone tell me any kind of date? I was curious how old this is. I think it's pre-1945 because of the maker, but can anyone help to narrow it down more?
Finally, there is some kind of brown corrosion on it. What's the best way to clean it up more? As of now I've only used water and a soft toothbrush.
Thanks for all your help!
