Very hard to find and rare, cuff or hat button, worn by the diplomatic corps. This one is in non dug condition, and while it does show some wear, it has super nice features. Made of one piece and is flat, dates to before 1820's or earlier. This die pattern is very similar to Alberts OD 5b, but yet different. Depicts the up winged eagle facing right, shield in middle. Above the eagle's head are 13- 5 pointed stars (which could represent the states at the time) with rays above. Holds the olive branch in right talon, with 5 arrows in its left. Middle feathers rounded at bottom. The back is blank with the full stand up shank which appears to be integral to the button and shows split mold lines. Very unique and interesting little button
