Re: 1 PEICE EAGLE "FINE ORANGE GILT " BACKMARK

I just searched Bazelon's button makers and dealers. The only "fine orange Gilt" back mark (quality mark) is on page 35

"Fine Orange Gilt/*J.E* " C. 1820

I'll keep searching

i didnt think that eagles were that early? There is a mention in TICES for a "orange treble gilt" about the same time frame!

Re: 1 PEICE EAGLE "FINE ORANGE GILT " BACKMARK

This is one of the Orange-type Backmarks off the Early Artillery Button I found during the summer and one of the only ones I find on Military Buttons but I must say, I dug probably near 100 Early 1 and 2 piece Eagle "A's" this past year but don't remember any having the "Fine Orange Gilt" bacmark. Very interesting indeed...

Re: 1 PEICE EAGLE "FINE ORANGE GILT " BACKMARK

well whatever the button may be it must be a very early-scarce button

Yes, its definitely one of the early style Eagles, they used the one piece Eagle "A's" alot in the *1830s-1840s and then the 2 piece buttons started proliferating in the 1840s-1850s

*typo above, actually meant to type "1820" not "1830"

Re: 1 PEICE EAGLE "FINE ORANGE GILT " BACKMARK

those "quailty" type back markings ---- quality "puffing"- lettering on the rear ( mostly english but american as well)- were use to tout how much better your button was over others * --- double gilt , trible gilt . and so on -- the 1 piece type buttons are normal thought of as 1820 to 30 era normally -- as in the 1840's two piece buttons became more popular -- but the 1 piece buttons still were made but just not as much.

very nice find * --there are exsamples of 1830 era seminole war buttons with eagles --yours might have been on a seminole war vets uniform --that went home on leave or took his uniform home after service .

Re: 1 PEICE EAGLE "FINE ORANGE GILT " BACKMARK

Congrats on the rare button in great shape!
I love the early 1 pieces
i've been trying to track that backmark, no luck here either.
does it say Fin* or Fine?
I've found several abbreviations/misspellings on other buttons,
especially concerning phila/fila/fil/phil
it looks as if a third star would line up here also,
Great Find
