    Hi Merf!

    Apparently ole' Sherman Bronson owned a button factory in Waterbury, see this screen shot about the book that speaks to it by Sarah Johnson Prichard.

    Thanks for the good info Jim,
    Do you think it is a CW button? Yankee or Confederate?

    I think it was made before or during the Civil War and is a civilian suspender button, not made for any military uniform (His company was making buttons: 1837-1865), based on some reading I just did.
