In this long-anticipated presentation, I proudly share one of the most exciting acquisitions in my lifetime of research and collecting. A number of buttons are examined and discussed, with the emphasis being on a circa 1800 U.S. Army high level officer button. At present only eight other examples are known to exist in prominent private collections. The image in the thumbnail is presented for context and depicts General Peter Gansevoort. The portrait was painted by Gilbert Stuart in 1794 and illustrates the type of uniform this button would have adorned. Below is a link to Gen. Gansevoort’s Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Gansevoort The mission of this channel is to cultivate interest in collecting in current and future generations, thereby helping to ensure historical and cultural appreciation and preservation.

Exciting update! The presence of Rose number [6] embodies the spirit of collaboration within our creative garden here at Cointales. Let's keep cultivating this shared space together! 🌹🌷🌼 Thank you for being a vital part of it! 😊💖
Wow beautiful button for age in beautiful condition, i have that same book and Tice's im workings on my first revolutionary War USA button but it's hard finding one in great condition.
Thanks! I’ve had that book for so long, when I bought it they were like $45. I can’t believe how many button collectors don’t have it. Good luck on picking up a Rev War button. The pewter ones are often pretty rough. I kinda got spoiled finding pewter buttons so I’m picky on condition. Beware of pewter buttons that have been “restored” unless you don’t object to that.
@@CollectorChronicles I buy a lot of war buttons from Shiloh Relics. The owner has become a friend over the years he's finding me a nice one, check out my Irish jasper greens button if you haven't the button was named after a Irish revolutionary War hero, but it's a Irish Civil War one it's pretty cool
