I found this button a couple of years ago in my town. This part of NC didn't see much CW action but a Yankee raiding party did come ashore at our town and burn the connecting bridge, destroyed a local gristmill, and made an effort to get the local men to jump ship and swear their loyalty to the north. I believe this button to be a Federal Marine button from that group of raiders. The button is in rough condition but you can see an eagle sitting atop an anchor with stars around the perimeter. I bought my wife a new camera so I thought I would post these pics of the button to see what the experts think. Thanks for any comments and thoughts you may have!
