How rare is this Civil War era "WATERBRY" (not Waterbury) SCOVILL MF'G CO button?
I have this Civil War era ca 1860 (made in 1860 only?)
General Service Eagle button... most likely worn during the war,
found in Petersburg Virginia near the site of where the
Battle of the Crater took place.
This button is about 19.8mm made by Scovill with what I
believe is a very rare "WATERBRY" (abbreviated)... and not
the other scarce "WATRBRY" back mark that are known to exist. Through
extensive research I have only found 1 other like it on a
previous Treasurenet.com forum several years ago.
I will appreciate any information about this button.
