Military buttons

[winslow]

Along with the usual junk there was an interesting box with an ornate picture of a bobby pin on the front. No coins in the box though --- darn!

Two identical military buttons with US on the front and "United States" on the back. can anyone identify era etc?

Looks like a CW period eagle, and US Great Coat button (1820s/30s).

A good day.

I would take those finds any day of the week. The Great Coat button is top notch.
