Hi My Fellow TH'ers
You sure have a nice mix of finds there. Those shell casing with the center fire are post Civil War the 'H' markings are from Henry Shells. I believe the Henry shell casings are post Civil War but I know Henrys were used in the Civil War. Your Eagle buttons are very nice and the one sized between a cuff and jacket may be a cloak button. Very nice finds you have made. I do wonder what state you found these in. The 'I' Eagle buttons are super finds.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice collection of relics. I found the same small buckle a few years back, does it have a date on it?

I can't picture where, but that bent thing looks like it should be a gun part.

Re: Buttons, Bullets and Shells

Cool finds. Patent No. 22506 seems to be a car sear or couch. I wonder if the patent is from another country or part of the seat. I don't think they had seat belts back then!

I think we are looking at two different things. I'm looking at the item in the first photo, second row down fifith item across.

Number is 22808, not 06.

Here's another one that was found and IDed. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=262283.0

First I correct my error, number is 22508. But looking at the other buckles it may be 06. And I stand corrected if a magnifying glass shows it is a 6.

Second, the two buckles in the link have a patent date, not patent number. The date on the two buckles reads "PAT.12.25.06". That would, of course be 25Dec1906. Christmas Day at that.

And the numbers on this buckle may read, "PAT.2.25.06". You just can't see the dots in the photo. That would make a date of 25Feb1906.

I have the exact same buckle on a pair of leggings. I assume they are WWI gaiters.
