The spoon is one I recently found at the farmstead once owned by Stonewall Jackson's Chief of Staff, Robert Lewis Dabney. It was manufactured by Wm. A. Rogers and is stamped "German Silver", though I'm not convinced it is silver. After some cleaning, the metal has the appearance of being some type of copper alloy. I don't know enough about metals to make a determination. I believe it dates to the late 19th century. The other 2 items were found at another Shenandoah Valley farmstead. I seem to find a lot of 19th century flat buttons. Here's another. The tag is a bit difficult to read in this photograph but it reads: "Anchor Buggy Co. - Cincinnati Ohio" The company made buggies during the 19th and early 20th century and also manufactured "Carriage" automobiles from 1910 - 1911.
