Click on browse, and select the imagefile from a folder on your computer's hard-drive.

I see you figured out a way to post a photo. I do not recall seeing an eagle-button like that, with "rays" around its rim. It is not a US army-issued button, but may be a Federal Government Department button, a State Militia button, or a "Patriotic" button. At the moment, I'm leaning toward Patriotic, because of the "rayed" rim.

Is it a 1-piece (solid cast) button, or (hollow) 2-piece or 3-piece button?

We need a photo of the button's back, and also a "sideview" photo (showing whether the button is high-domed, low-domed, or flat). Are there any markings, like a manufacturer's name, on the back?

Thanks. I will post more pics. Really interesting. I found this on the front lawn of a 1800s house. I also found a canadian militia button. Will post pics soon.

Anyone know the date,or history behind these buttons? I live in nj . I dont think there was much civil war activity and the canadian militia button is strange too. Any comments or knowledge would be great.
