Buchanan Relic Found on Farm

Submitted by David:
While relic hunting a Confederate camp with a friend at my private farm in Virginia, we unearthed the pewter plate shown in the image attached. The plate measures 2.25" wide x 1.75" high and bears an eagle with banner against the American flag and contains the words "Buchanan," "Breckenridge," "LIBERTY," and "THE CONSTITUTION," all of which are reversed out. We suspect this is a printing plate especially after running a Wikipedia search on "Buchanan" and seeing a picture of a campaign ribbon that shows the image on our plate unreversed (a picture of this ribbon is also attached). When viewing the attached pic, please note we've made no attempt to clean this item for fear of damaging the pewter surface.
