This is a wonderful vintage George Washington inauguration gilt sterling silver blazer button set by the Stieff Silver Company. In the mid 1970s Stieff made a series of items for The Smithsonian around the theme of the buttons of the coat George Washington wore to his swearing in as President. The seven buttons are impressed with the initials GW in the center of the button surrounded by the slogan "Long Live the President." The Abbreviation for the first thirteen colonies c...ircle the edge. The buttons measure 15/16 inch for the three large and 3/4 inch in diameter for the small. The large buttons are marked with the Smithsonian logo, “Sterling” and “Stieff”. The buttons are in the original box and have never been worn. The exterior of the box shows light surface wear, but the buttons are in excellent condition.
