Navy Button

[ynpto804]

So I know there is lots of debate about Navel button with iron backs. So I will add another. I found this button in a area that has produced some amazing navy buttons including a Confederate CN button. But it is also a home site. The area saw both CS and US troops throughout the course of the war. So that said here it is what are your thoughts.

"I know there is lots of debate about Navel button with iron backs."
IMHO, a fairly modern fashion button, even the curved beam is a later kedge design...
I'm hoping someone can confirm the design for you as early Naval..

It looks like this fashion button from Waterbury. 21391 - Anchors - Waterbury Button But there is one difference and that is the end of the anchor rope. I'll look for a closer match.

I think this is your button: Anchor - Anchors - Waterbury Button

I have to agree this is a fashion button. I was hoping for something but such is life. Thanks for the replies.
