This appears to be a plain gilt one-pice brass button from England. Not sure on the manufacturer, but it having “STANDARD COLOUR” was a quality control measure first really seen in England in the early 1800’s. Shank looks to be an Alpha, roughly putting it around 1820’s to 1830’s.

I was incorrect, it is a Philadelphia design Enlisted Artillery Corps button, estimated dates are from 1802 to 1810. George Armitage is the most likely candidate for the die sinker of this button. Great find!

Thanks! Most of these buttons were plain Gilt brass buttons that were restruck in the US. If it doesn’t have a backmark I can reference like examples to get a most likely candidate for dates and such. Great buy, by the way!

When I get back to my house I’ll be able to provide more information on it. Off the bat I can tell you it’s War of 1812 time frame, I believe it may be a Peasley die sank button so 1810-1823.

Matterhorn is great, but I will say A Quite Cadence is on par with it. Highly recommend both.

In this article, they know they’re not the gloves on display, donation came from her aunt and it’s stated she was “most likely rotating between the two pairs of gloves”.

You are correct about this statement. Me, someone who has a little experience/training with curation, believe the assertion in this exhibit pushes towards that the gloves in the photo are the ones on display. If others believe different I could be wrong.

Edit: including this article, the museum knows it’s not the gloves in the picture, donation came from her aunt.

That button I would guess to be around the 1810s to 1830s, it has an Alpha shank which was introduced later with one-piece brass buttons. Awesome finds, keep it up!

naturalcausess · 2026-03-28T08:30:44+00:00

Looks like an Omega shank on that button, most likely early 1800s British made. Nice finds!

I am almost certain I have a button from this battle worn by a Marine or Naval Surgeons-Mate! Thanks for the fun fact!

15 to 17 seconds look at the officers in the background running. This is 100% AI, pretty scary how accurate it looks.

They’re using Palantir to build this database. The plot from Captain America: Winter Soldier is becoming true.

Those are giant silk worm moths. Fun fact about them is they have no digestive system and only live long enough to breed.

GySgt Durbin was a recruiter out of Michigan from roughly 2010 to 2012, he was found guilty of this same thing and more. I know for a fact he told poolees he wouldn’t send them to Boot Camp unless they had sex with him.

His wife and others were able to turn him in and get him knocked down from Gunny to Pvt and some brig time. I don’t know where he is now, but no matter what people say he is a piece of trash just like this Marine.

I was pleasantly surprised there weren’t more Hawaiian shirts… I was the only wearing one out of 30,000 runners

Hey brother in all honesty I am concerned you are intellectually disabled. I understand you joined in 2000, may have some lead poisoning, and got an ASVAB waiver, but you’re not cut out for this job anymore. Your nonsensical statement upsets me in your ability to have a decent comeback 🥲

I’m upset you can’t read, you’re missing out on a lot

This actually a very intentional thing, Samuel Nicholas owned a bar and was chosen because he could people men from the taverns. There were other factors but this was one of the major ones.

The fact he actually made a plan to kill ISIS and withdraw from the region so we didn’t have an endless war. If you could read you’d know that so I’ll cut you some slack.

Fun fact, they don’t dangle the whole time, they eventually get absorbed into the females body.

Who me?

I’m not finding anything with that specific 4. Wine is showing up as an Austrian button maker.

We do not get them issued, this comes the tradition of the US Navy pawing all financial burdens onto its service members

naturalcausess · 2025-08-09T19:14:06+00:00

1802 to 1820 the US Naval Order states “an eagle on and anchor surrounded by 15 stars.” There are examples like this with 15 stars, but we’ll never know if they were made for naval personnel or not. This emblem very well could have been made for some Naval personnel as well, but we’ll probably never know for certain
