Item Description
DeWitt GW 1789-7 measuring 1-5/16" diameter. Center has recessed and slightly stippled oval with  large, raised, Roman style "GW" initials with the slogan "Long Live The President" above in raised letters within  a semi-circular channel. The reverse once had a soldered on stickpin, now removed, and the  only trace remaining is a small area of silver luster above the flattened but original shank. While the button was cleaned long ago, it now displays beautifully showing a rainbow patina on the deep copper tone surface in certain angles of reflected light. VF and especially attractive.
