Description |
This is a pair of two green plastic buttons (parts a and b), likely from a military uniform. The buttons are circular with a smooth domed back. Each button has a three tiered raised center that gives the button a slight concentric circular design. Each button has four holes in the center. Part a still has army green thread intact within the holes. Part b has thread intact through two of the adjacent holes. |
Notes |
These buttons likely belonged to Lt. Henry Clay Simpson (1896-1986) of the Kentucky State Guard. He was the son of Minor Simpson and Lucretia Clay Erwin. |
