Dirtshark Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 A twist of thread that is. Found this near where I found a colonial shoe buckle chape. Looks old, no markings. Oddly enough it still had thread attached. Wild. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Nice one, Shark. ? It almost feels personal when there's thread on buttons. Nice old one! Still want to see the trash, you may be finding cool stuff and not know it. I've been called sometimes. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I found a 4 hole brass button several years ago that I didn't think was very old but have since used it to replace a lost button. I think if I found any that old that were still whole I would want to re use them on a shirt or jacket . I realize I could lose one ,,,but then I could look for it again !!!! Wondering if anyone else has done this? Did the thread break up when you checked it out or was it still strong ? I do leather stitching by hand sometimes and thread that lasted that long would be something that I'd be interested in learning about as much as the button itself ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
