A lucky find -a story button?


I found this button and bought it for $6.  Yesterday I took it to my button expert and was told it was worth $20 - $25 NZ.  It's a story button evidently.. must be a story of a woman and a goat! Any ideas?

  1. if you post the picture on the California State Button Society facebook page - they will more than likely be able to tell you - they are a mine of information!

  2. No idea about the story behind the button, but it really is cool. Is is steel cut? All that detail on a small button...amazizng, isn't it?
