1789 George Washington inaugural button - extraordinary!
Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>I know this isn't a classic area to sell this piece (indeed I hope it's ok with the moderators - I'm sure they'll let me know <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>), but would prefer to list here before going to ebay or auction house....<br /><br />I'm selling this piece with a fair bit of heartache but priorities are priorities. Purchased it from Mastro back in 2005, and am not looking to do much better than purchase price.<br /><br />This piece was crafted in 1789 to commemorate Washington's inauguration, and given to supporters of his that could afford to don them on a coat or cuff.<br />Few survive, they come in a number of designs, this one was my favourite for it's strong simple symbolism. It has a full, original and undamaged shank. I currently have it framed, and am happy to send the frame along with it if you choose, or naked in a protective holder. I have loved looking at it every day, it connects me to a special time in this country's history, I have no doubt anyone would feel the same way.<br /><br />Price is $2450 inclusive shipping registered USPS fully insured. Paypal is required payment method for this item.<br /><br />First to type "I'll take it".<br /><br /><br />Daniel<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1192502850.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1192502867.JPG">
