I got these a few years ago at garage sale and kinda not into buttons unless they are dug. If they are real how much should I list them for? 80968977-52F5-48B4-96A7-AB531F4FFFD7.jpeg 6B8EF423-8A22-4536-A1E0-AA20000D9C96.jpeg 9E213879-3162-44F2-B578-8E4A45FEA1D1.jpeg 08D6283E-E9EC-4635-BFE4-92877F3272F7.jpeg CEE72FB8-857A-4090-9DC5-B7BC26702411.jpeg :dontknow:

I don't think the buttons are old military. There are reference webs sites out there but I am not home to get them for you. You make try Google as mentioned.

I believe they are old military buttons, the second one I would say is a general service button dating back to the civil war. U didn’t get a lot of response, maybe relist in the what’s it forum. Congrats !!

Your first button is a General Staff one and the second is a general service one. The staff button dates from the late 1850s-1860s and the general service one dates from 1854 to about 1870. As for value, I don't think they will bring much. Maybe $5-10.00 on the worn general service and $10-20.00 on the staff.
