outdoorstom Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Those would be a great addition to the man cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpteach Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm too young to remember them. But, the gentlemen that taught me to hunt had a very very large collection of the buttons. He donated them to the DEC in Albany around 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 were these to be worn instead of our back tags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
132 eight pointer Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 I believe these were worn before backtags yes. These have a pin on the back like most buttons so they must have been pinned to clothing or a hat possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdwaz Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Some individual pins/buttons are very rare and collectable. You can sell/snag on EBay all you want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyslowhand Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'm old, but damned you'd have to be atleast 100 to have seen these in use................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StripedBuck Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Very cool find, never seen them before either. It was a totally different world for hunters back in those days. Thanks for posting, I love nostalgia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ev Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I saw these and thought they would be cool for the man cave, but the prices people want on them go over $20 for ones pre-1935. I said forget that. They go on ebay for good money if anyone wants to sell some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
