Description
"Linked States" George Washington 1789 Inaugural Button These came in both copper and brass, and this is the brass version. This is one of the nicer examples we have seen, grading at least extremely fine. There are even traces of original luster in the "Long Live the President" legend. The script "GW" initials in the center are often worn beyond legibility because, when the shank was applied to the back, it usually created a little bump in the center of the front, making this area more susceptible to wear. On this specimen the "GW" is sharp and clear. Pleasing light brown color. The shank on reverse has been professionally restored, but so skillfully that, had we not been told, we would never have known. A fine example! 34 mm.Auction Info
