Title: Button artifact - 2-3-S-5
Post by: Heath Smith on May 05, 2012, 11:57:15 AM
I was looking at the photo  (http://tighar.org/wiki/2-3-S-5)of this button and it almost appears if there is a circular impression on the button. See attached.

Is this just wear or artifact from the JPG?

Is this photo of the front or back of the button? If the front, is there a picture of the reverse?

Also on the photo are the dimensions of 9/16" and 15mm. There is a 5% difference between the two. Do we know which measurement is correct?

Thanks.

I am pretty sure that it was found back in 1996 at the Seven Site (http://tighar.org/wiki/The_Seven_Site).

Jeepers - look at it long enough and you can see all kinds of stuff in the pitting! That arrow is pointing at the belly of a snowman if you ask me.
