CS Over A Button

[The Rebel]

Found this probably 30 years ago in my basement. Our house was my wife's Grandparents house that was built in 1955.

While it has no backmark my guess its a commemorative button from a reunion from probably 1915.

Any imput on it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Interesting it also has no back mark either. What still makes me think it's not original is the finish but need more experts to chime in.

I think that's one of the buttons they made in the 1920's or so for some of the reenactors. They made more again in the late 1950's.

I think it may well be a Bannerman's button.

Anyone have any ideas on this button?

Still looking for an ID if this is original or an older reproduction/commemorative button.

We do have original CW items from a family member here so it's possible it's an original.

Still looking for more information on this button.

Only buttons I have ever dealt with are dug, so not much help on real/repro conversation. Think this info may have been posted above…..but this is from Albert’s.
