Z1200 Rhode Island State Seal Anchor & "HOPE" Officer's Cuff Button
Description: Here is a nice little Rhode Island officer's staff button. This is a dug example which is harder to find. There are plenty of non-dug examples out there. This button doesn't have any pushes or cracks. The shank is broken and there is a little bit of flaking to the rim on one side. Tice states that these buttons were manufactured from the 1850's into the Post War period.
