Found these four buttons yesterday while out hunting. Two coat and two cuff buttons back marked Waterbury co. Can anyone I'd these? I can't find in tice's book. Thanks for the help!

It would be very helpful if you could provide the "letters" on both sides. As you know - your photograph is out-of-focus. Very difficult to search on letters when they are blurry...

No help here but they sure are in good condition for dug buttons congrats

WOW!!!!! You have some VERY kind soil!!!!

I am no expert, but I have not seen any that looked anywhere near that good.

Are they reproductions?

I was thinking the same thing. Mr. Magoo, are there any CW battle re-enactments that you know of in that area?

 

[SCdigger]

Definitely post war. Dug?

Waterbury started using the notation "co's" (instead of just co.) in 1943, after their business expanded as a result of WWII.

Nice looking buttons, but my thoughts immediately jumped to replicas, although I have seen a few genuine examples in that good condition that were handed down within family generations.

Not replicas but probably Citadel buttons. They use them up to this day.

Great observation, Mangum. A quick Google verification.


These look like cuff link style, but there are numerous example/photos of Citadel buttons out there.
