Description
Circa 1789 Washington Inaugural Button. GW in oval. Cobb-5b, Albert WI-11B, DeWitt-GW 1789-8, Baker-1017. Brass. Fine.
34.3 mm. Shank lost. Deep olive brown with areas of light porosity and a slight waviness to the flan. Though a little exposed to the elements, and with the usual light abrasions, the surface patina is quite even. This, coupled with the sharp details, makes for a very aesthetically pleasing piece, regardless of the missing shank. The variant with the widely spaced GW in the oval.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the F.C.C. Boyd Collection; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part II, May 2004, lot 240.
