As usual, I'm looking for help w an ID on a button! Found in a field in MA around sunrise...
Only backmark is Treble Gilt. Thanks!!!

That button is from the State of Rode Island, in other words it is a state button. Hard to tell if it is post war or period, we would have to see the backmark to be sure.

Looks like 1850's on the relicman site. Here's the book picture. This hobby is so cool; I also found a Highland Cadets button (Worcester, MA,1850's) within 100 yds of this and a mass volunteer militia button 1/4 mile away. Here's the HC button (the actual button that I found) which I LOVE, and a book pic of the Mass Volunteer button.

Nice digs.

Nice find. Your button looks pre-civil war. These staff buttons are real scarce in dug condition. Scarcer then most realize. Congratulations.
