Civil War Navy Button

[cannonball]

I had a few hours of play time before work so I went to one of my older sites. The ground there is damp and really bad for copper coins but has some interesting trinkets. The George 1 is toasted but the navy button survived. It's 23mm and the back mark is Horstmann Bros & Allien. It's listed in Alberts book pg. 102. Also found were a small dimple button, a large coat button, an 1865 Indian Head, a couple musket balls and lost cufflinks in my driveway when I got home!
