Button

. Photos of a button I found coin shooting. It is an eagle holding an anchor with a globe at its breast. Military or a copy?

Congrats on the nice button

Thanks. Do you think it is military ?

Just guessing it would be military. Hard to see the button in your pics. Try to find a copy of Alberts button book. It will probably be in there if its military.

Unfortunately it is a fashion button, for the reasons outlined in this thread: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/423755-civil-war-navy-button.html
None the less, always fun to find.

thanks nhbenz. There really was no reason I should find a military button where I found this( old public pool from the 50’s) but, as you know, we find a lot of weird stuff in our hobby
