Thank you for talking about the buttons. They are often overlooked bc they are small but they are as beautiful today as they were when they were loaded on the Arabia.
@@ArabiaSteamboatMuseum Both. I suspect the layered photography you describe has been a secret of numismatic auction houses for a while now. Tricky bastards.
Just when I thought I couldn't love buttons any more than I already do I found your video.

Took 6 people to the Arabia museum yesterday. We had a wonderful time. It’s a time capsule from a vanished era.
I almost skipped over this video and am so glad I did not!, I loved it! I can't wait to visit the museum!
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing this process and allowing us to see these items in a whole new way.
So glad y’all enjoyed it! More on the way!
Ooh, do the suspended buckle thing with the Eagle Gate from Salt Lake City!
In the next few days I plan to put up a gallery of some of these on our Instagram page. The Eagle will FOR SURE make the cut!
@@ArabiaSteamboatMuseum this pleases me greatly. By the way, I’m moving to Wichita in a couple weeks, so expect to see me more often 👹
That was fascinating! Thanks for all the details.
Neat items and an interesting process. A technical video about your setup would be welcomed.
Ya … I never even thought about that … that’s a cool idea. Thanks! Do you mean software or the photography equipment used?

The eagle with "Hail Columbia" on it - was that a watch fob charm?
Part of a suspender. I’ll check with our preservationist, Melody and see if she has any more info on it for ya.
As Oscar Wilde said, that is "too utterly too." :) I'd love to know more about it!
