Recovered in the Country Club parking lot next to Willoughby Run by local resident and relic hunter Ed Miller. Edward or “Ed” Miller of Gettysburg was a very avid relic hunter in and around Gettysburg, amassing a large local relic collection of artifacts. Known to many local people in the collection community, his collection has been featured in many books about collecting.

Face of button retains traces of the gilt finish; complete with shank. Backmark “EXTRA QUALITY”. [ws] [ph:L]
