Here is one of my 1850s period 63Rd button. The site that this came off had many neat finds. I think the location was an early tavern site, it was near the river, I think there must have been a crossing at this place. Brian C.

This is not as pretty as some of the military buttons I have but this one is my favorite. Baldwin was a clothier in Huntingdon, Pa. It is the only one I have ever seen.

Interesting buttons for sure. I have been looking for a button book on British buttons 1812- 1850, no one has shown me one yet. We find many different buttons in Canada. Brian C.

I was looking in the tice book, there are some buttons with M on them, your button could be a Maryland school button,1855-1860, just guessing. Brian C.

Here's my prized button find...a Civil War Massachusetts Volunteer Militia button, found on April 28, 1985, in a local school playground that was being bulldozed. The dozer had taken off several inches, and the button was another 4 inches down!

IRISH VOLUNTEERS OF CHARLESTON.....I found the first one ever. It was not known to exist until my example surfaced.

My button is pictured in Albert's button book, and Tice's button book.

Only about five known.

I almost asked you about that last night! I had never seen such a button and guessed it was a good one... but it's not... it's an incredible one!

Amazing find! Any knowledge of variants, like this lead pewter example? I’ve never seen another one like it. Was told it was the only one found in the US

Not a button expert, but my favorite ones, other than my military eagles.
First one looks like a Roman soldier. Design is incused. Second is a lovely flower pattern. Both buttons were found on old wagon trail.
