Re: Best Guilded or Plated Button

Those are some great buttons! Civilman, that gilded beauty you posted is a real Eye-Popper!

I'll have to do a bit of digging around and come up with something shiny to post later on. 8)


Best Wishes,

Colin, that is indeed one of the finest Silver Gilted buttons that I've seen! I've got quite a few nice ones

myself that I will try to gather up......As Always, some beautiful finds

Here's one of mine.
The pic doesn't actually do it justice (I could get a good shot - it's just so damn shiny )
It's Player Bros.. Sorry, no pic of the back. Apart from the missing shank, the back looks the same as the front.

Hi Colin!
My pictures are a bit dark because they are one of the night and I have no natural light, here I show some of my best Gilded / silver Plated , I will put some more when found.

Nice post to see the "pretty" buttons!

This beautiful silver plated beauty has a Pineapple, which back on the late 1700s was a sign of Hospitality.

Two Geometric design types, one in silver plated, and one gold gilt.


Back in late 1994 I had the great luck of find this button, which ended up in Mr Warren Tice's collection. Albert's TE-1 I did not have a digital camera then and only took quick photos for Mr Tice so he could verify what I had found, it had a lot of gold gilt left on it, just not a good photo, but the only ones I have of it anymore.


The Union Greens button is perhaps my favorite one, War of 1812 era, Baltimore Militia, Mr Tice along with others never seen one for that unit, the Eagle with the Harp is very nice.

Here is a lets get the crud off and see what is there, ah nice results.

Don, nice buttons, what is the droop-winged eagle? just a regular Confederate GS? looks like there are letters on it?
