Eagle button no backmark

[misplacedrednek]

Found a general service coat button (civil war era/style) yesterday with no backmark. Does anyone out there have any insight on this? I haven't been able to locate anything about it.

They are out there. I have found a few.

They were common, not all button had a backmark. some were brass and others tin. you can tell the tin they rusted pretty bad. but still nice finds.

This one is brass. A little bent but complete and in good shape otherwise. I will put up a picture when I get home.

I have found many of them over the years. Always good to get an eagle.
