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!

It is a Union Artillery Button,Can we see a pic of the back.Is it a one piece button or
a two piece button.If it is a one piece it is pre CW era.

Not for sure about your backmark,for sure it is a Union Artillery Button,NICE FIND
HORSTMANN / PHILADELPHIA-1893-1935,However I thought that it was older than that by the
way the eagles wings are shaped.

After looking at the backmark more I think that it reads Horstman & Son/Philad.Which makes it
a CW era button.
