Bronze Button
Recalls Early
State History
"Button, button, who has the
button?"
The familiar story of the child
hood game changes when the but
ton falls into the hands of E. E.
Blackman, curator of the Ne
braska State Historical society.
A well-worn bronze button,
bearing the name of an early Eng
lish button maker, was found a
few days ago by L. E. Benson in
his field near Fullerton. Miss La
Vcre Benson, a summer school stu
dent at the university, gave the
button to the historical society.
The button was picked up by
Mr. Benson in the center of what
was once a sod enclosed Pawnee
Indian village. The button evi
dently was on an English military
uniform originally.
On the face of the button is the
outline of an early type boat with
out sails plowing through rough
waters. The sun is also shown
sending its rays in all directions
over the sea. Over all hovers an
eagle with a scroll in its beak.
Writing on the scroll is indisting
uishable, so badly is the button
worn.
On the back of the button the
name of the maker, "T. Biddle,
Drury Lane," is still visible.
As it was common in colonial
times to commemorate the deeds
of a country by symbolizing them
on buttons, Mr. Blackman believes
it highly possible that this button
was designed after the arrival of
the relief Expedition which reached
the starving Pilgrim fathers after
their first winter of hardships here
in America.
Mr. Blackman believes that the
button probably belonged to some
farventuring trapper who bar
tered the then brilliant piece of
metal for Indian produce.
