Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 9:25 pm Interesting button. Can you please post the full inscription or else take photos from angles that let us read the letters. I think that I can make out MESBELOTS in the center.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 11:39 pm I don't seem to be getting all the letters. Going left to right seems to be: l(?)io(?) mesbelots(?)hablof(?). Maybe if you spell them somebody can translate. We do have some folks in European countries on this forum. I love a good mystery, I'll check back later, I may be even able to run some very moinor searches. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/10/2017 12:14 am It seems the button reads "Harlou Mes Belots Harlou." I found this: http://www.auction.fr/_fr/lot/vautr....WMIzn59MHqB Possibly associated with Felcourt, France but that's as far as I went. Also, apparently, "mes belots" translates to "mens belts" in Greek...
