| Nice ca. 1820's NY10 New York Militia Button with Silver Plate Remnants & Cloth Still in the Loop |
|
| Here is Another Nice NY10 One-Piece New York Militia Coat Button ! As noted previously, though these date from the 1820s-1830, gilt examples aren’t uncommon. The device is an eagle atop a globe, on a lined field with a wide border and the word “Excelsior” in an arc under the eagle. Though this one appears more of a gold or gilt color in the photo, in hand it has a definite silver tone. Judging by the apparent remnants on the reverse, I think this one was also silver plated at one time but has lost much of its plating. The reverse also shows an 1820s quality mark of, “Imperial Standard + Superb”, and an intact shank with a bit of navy or black thread still tied around it. Another Fine Displaying Example of a ca. 1820s One Piece New York Button!

Here is a Beautiful Dug Coat Size Button for the 1840 Presidential Campaign of William Henry Harrison ! Often seen in non-dug condition, the more common examples of these buttons sell for $100 to $150 each. However, the buttons are much less common in good excavated condition, and this one is Fine ! It shows no pushes, cracks, or damage to the front and about 30-40% of its original gold gilt still present, superbly highlighting the device. That device is a log cabin in a grass field, with a hard cider barrel out front, and as I say displays beautifully with the gilt highlights. The remaining metal shows a nice green patina. Though I failed to capture it in my photographs, the reverse has a legible raised maker’s mark of ”Ives Kendrick & Co. Extra”, and also shows an intact upright shank. Recovered near Berryville, Virginia. 21mm. A Super Nice Dug William Henry Harrison Presidential Campaign of 1840 Coat Button !
