Item Description: Up for auction is a huge, uncleaned mega-job lot of historical buttons, beautifully presented as found in the main overview photo
These are genuine metal detecting field finds recovered from across the historic county of Dorset. Left strictly uncleaned to preserve their natural patina, this lot offers an excellent sorting and identification project for collectors.
What’s Included in this Mega-Lot (Over 90+ Pieces!):
Military & Livery Standouts: Includes a highly desirable Georgian-era crowned "GR" (Georgius Rex) cipher button alongside another heavily detailed 19th-century military/regimental crest button
Decorative Civilian Flat-Buttons: A wide selection of 18th and 19th-century flat-buttons, including pieces with beautiful sunburst patterns and intricate stamped geometric borders
Assorted Everyday Fasteners: A massive mix of materials and sizes featuring tombac buttons, pewter discs, brace buttons, and small cuff fasteners.
Condition: Sold entirely as found and uncleaned. Please note that as these are genuine field-found items, many will show standard wear, including bent, broken, or missing reverse loops/shanks.
Postage & Packaging: Securely packed and dispatched via tracked postage. Combined shipping is gladly offered if you win multiple artifact lots from my current listings.
PLEASE NOTE - The above passage is an AI description - it is probably more accurate than anything I could say about this lot, but please do take it with a "pinch of salt" Suffice to say, if you are viewing this auction then you likely already know far more about it than me! I'm selling these for an older family member who used to metal detect around fields in Dorset.
