>> Hi Inge,
>> I am with the Welqamex Archaeological Research Project on Greenwood 
>> Island
>> (located in the Fraser River across from the District of Hope
>> waterfront/historic site of original HBC Fort Hope) Last summer
during 
>> our
>> excavations we found a brass button that may more accurately date the
>> site.  I understand that you may be able to help us, or may know
someone
>> we could contact for further information.  I have enclosed a couple
>> pictures; the writing on one side of the button reads "J.N. Co
Patent."
>> Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
>> Thank you,
>>
