Description
Circa 1789 Washington Inaugural Button. GW in oval. Cobb-5b, Albert WI-11B, DeWitt-GW 1789-8, Baker-1017. Brass. Choice Very Fine.
34.2 mm. Original shank intact. Fairly uniform deep olive brown with a soft greenish tint and one small area of deeper patina near the final few letters of the legend. The usual trivial handling marks, but none are serious. One minuscule edge mark is visible, if one goes looking. Glossy and quite pretty, with the details bold and the obviously original shank standing perfectly straight on the back. The wider GW variant.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Purchased from Jim Skalbe, July 2008.
