<p>[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 26602985, member: 10461"]Oh yes, I remember that now. It was indeed an EXTREMELY cool find. You are correct that it is a 19th century commemorative button, and I daresay it's from that era; not long after Waterloo happened. That style of flat button was in use at the time. I find it interesting that they so often had the designs on the <i>back</i> of the button, where no one would see them if they were sewn on a garment! This was the case with some early political buttons as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
