This copper button is for George Washington's inauguration and is known as the Linked States. Speculation as to whether this was from his first or second election, but either way, it's a beauty. The button's outer ring is of all 13 states in linked circles that surround the words Long Live The President and the center is GW in cursive lettering. The button has a lovely patina with just the right amount of wear to give it a little bit of a shine, but all letters are clearly readable. This button retains no shank and measures approx 1 3/8" across.
