Eagle I button. My first civil war button!

[relic lover]

I can't believe the condition . I am pretty sure it is civil war. It is an inch across I had no clue they were that big. The back mark reads HORSTMANN BROS & CO PHIL. Another very shallow find only 1/2" no digger needed I plucked it with my fingers and no dents and perfect shank! I am so thrilled. If anyone knows about the back mark I would love any info.
