Eagle button Id

[rvrpilot]

This button was recovered here in Illinois on a old home site,I have seen simular ones on t-net and are said to be Revolutionary war peroid buttons,I have recovered 1 other rev. button in the county that I live in, that I had ID'ed here on t-net as rev. naval button.The only back mark is super fine quality,its about the size of a half dime.

Do you think it's American or Mexican? It's definitely does not date to the Rev War.

I'm not the button expert, but it reminds me of the pre-CW Louisana and local staff buttons. Breezie

It looks like the drooped wing eagles I am finding but, the heads are turned opposite directions.
The Louisiana's Breezie speaks of has the head (Pelican) turned the same direction.

I think this may be a Mexican button...

Could it be New Mexico?

Close, and the one above still might be a Mexican button, but that is not a match.

The funny part is if you combined both buttons in that link you'd probably have a match. It certainly points at it being Mexican but you can't say for sure, or date it properly. (matching backmark could dat eit though)

Kuger, I was thinking that too, which is why I said it looked like the Louisana buttons, but after looking at the Mexican comparison, it's probably not Louisana. Breezie

Thanks Cy!!!Thats the one!!

Well that's kinda close... so just a little loopy.

 

[kuger]

Yea,I guess we are both wrong!! A buddy recently dug a panel plate that I have not seen but he said it has a "mexican",looking eagle(dont run a way with that one!!)but no cacti??Sounds like this button??

Well that's kinda close... so just a little loopy.

Ok, maybe count Mexican buttons to put yourself to sleep.
