    I worked for eight years as a professional conservator for a very large privately owned museum. I still professionally clean and conserve historic uniform buttons as a hobby. I use only museum-prescribed mechanical cleaning techniques.
    All of the excavated buttons I sell are absolutely authentic and were recovered from private property with permission. I do not invent the history or provenance of any excavated button I sell.
