Civil War Button??

[lostlake88]

I have never found a button like this before and I am clueless about it. It looks to be pretty old. Any help would be appreciated!

After looking at your pic of the backmark more,I think it reads Horstman & Son/Philad.
And that backmark is a CW era backmark by Alberts button book.Congrats

I believe it says: HORSTMANN BROS & CO. / PHILA . Thanks for all the help.

Is Horstman spelled with one N or two N's.If it is spelled with two it just might be
HORSTMANN BROS & CO. / PHILA.But if it is spelled with one N it is Horstman & Son / Philad.
I can see the & sign but I only see one N.
