Beautiful CW Navy button. Excellent condition. This button will definitely enhance your display. Well Done. This had to have been found in some type of great soil.

I never know if I should crush someone's beliefs in their find or Let It Go. Jacob reeds sons was formed in 1880 and lasted till 1983. That is a nice button, but probably much later judging by the casting.
