button i.d.

jhamner · Jan 1, 2019

A friend of mine gave me this button today, and I thought it would be an easy id., but I must be looking in all the wrong places! Could use some help from the experts out there, and a big thanks in advance.

Really nice button but no help from me on an ID. Someone will be able to help you soon.

Try sending some info to this guy: The Civil War Relicman, Harry Ridgeway ...I can't find ANYTHING on this...but there were tons of buttons made somewhat similar to this but most were Scovill Waterbury from what I have found so far...Militia type...might be counterfeit...IDK

I am having trouble reading the banners, even with a loupe. The first part, I think, reads " UND ENTRACE....the last banner has been bruised and I cannot make out the letters at all! Don't know if this limited information helps at or not.

Yeah, me too--this one just happened to be non-dug--maybe because it's newer-not sure. Thanks!

Thank you--I might send Harry an email, but I've asked him for so many id.'s in the past, he may not want to be bothered with me!
