SC State Buttons

[reapp]

Can anyone tell me if there was a manufacturer of SC state seal buttons located in Charleston during or pre-civil war? If so, could you post their names? I have a chance to buy one, and it is not in my field of expertise. Thanks!

If the backmark is Shuckmann, the button is post civil war
Shur & Blank would be civil war period
Charles Darr supplied British buttons to the confederate but Ithey were probably lettered buttond and I don't believe his name is on any buttons
Courtney & Tennent I don't think that name would be on an SC button either.
If you could find out the backmark and let us know that would help for sure.

As best I remember all of the SC buttons I've seen with Charleston backmarks have been Shuckmann. They should be worth a couple bucks or so each.
