Scovills & Co Extra Button

[Cobradude22]

Was cleaning up some finds and didn’t realize this little button had an eagle and shield on it. The front has some damage. The backside reads, Scovills & Co Extra. Came from a field. I think it’s a military button. The penny is for scale.

And these

I also dug these up, literally have no clue what they are. They almost look like suspender clips, or a piece that would hold a cloak around your neck. If anyone knows I’d love to figure out what they are. Thanks for looking

Those are all suspender clips. The top one is the oldest. They date from the 1860s to about 1900.

It is US Army. It was a General Service Eagle button 2pc, From pictures could be a GI-94-A in the Albert Button book. Nice Save.
