    Maybe it's my imagination but does this old metal button look like it has arrows, sun rays or feathers to you?
    The design pop up while I was cleaning it up. It appears to be etched on the top with arrows and more.
    I found it among some uniform buttons.
    Could it possibly be native Indian related? I'd love your input.
    Thx

      I think Native American symbols.

      How interesting--I see it! Does look like NA to me too. How wonderful--It had a course fabric packed in the hole for sewing. I collect buttons from 1850s and had some nickel silver, old Navajo items but mainly for horse tack decorations or saddle trims. Beautiful but sold long ago.
