OK, folks dumb questions time. Grin.
I have a piece of somewhat flat Moose Antler that I think would make good buttons with the hard surface on each side of the button/s. I know we still had both Elk and Bison in Virginia in the 18th century, but I don’t believe we had Moose this far South even then.
So my questions are, “In what Colonies or Territories were Moose found in the 18th century? IOW, how far South would they have been found? Also, is there any documentation that Moose Antler Buttons were made and traded in Colonies or Territories further South from where Moose were found?
I would very much appreciate any information on this.
