Old military buckle and a couple buttons

[jeff741972]

I searched around the net for about an hour, I dug these about 20 years ago in my moms backyard, I found the today while rootin through some stuff. The eagle button says "waterbury button co" on the back, the anchor is a tin back rusted bad, on the front is horizontal lines and surronding the anchor is stars. The buckle is missin the back bits, but you can see where they where brazed on. I found some close ones online but nothing exact, any help would be greatly appreciated. The house dates back probably to the 1830's.

Your US Army "eagle" button "WATERBURY BUTTON CO." dates 1849-1965

I'll leave the anchor button to someone else to ID but it looks like a steel back blazer button... I dunno.

I'm also sure you'll get a fast ID on that eagle plate ... Nice digs!

Um... never mind - plehbah already hooked you up!
