Wow, cool find. So you do know how to use a detector?

Thumbs up Neat Button.

Julie,
That is a neat button. Most people don't realize the worth of buttons. They need to go to a JoAnn Fabric shop and check them out. Most are worth a handfull of clad quarters. A genuine antique button is priceless.
Among the other things I do is design and sew my wife's wardrobe. I know the worth of buttons. I have only found a few with a MD, and none as exciting as the one you found.
Congratulations on the find. That is the coolest button I have seen in a long time. Now you need to design something around it and wear it proudly. Maybe a single button vest out of Levi material?
