    Button - old, or just dirty???

    I found this button metal detecting a year or so ago, and never thought much of it. Lately, I'm seeing all of these great old buttons being found, so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows anything about this button...

    The front says EXCELSIOR on it.

    The back reads WATERBURY BUTTON CO. EXTRA

    Backmark: "WATERBURY BUTTON CO. / * EXTRA* " dm between two rings of dots, ca 1860's

    That NYS militia button is AWESOME!

    Depending on condition it might be worth some serious battery money.
