The button appears to be a "General Service" button. Any back marks on it?

Good to be back in the hunting groove, Tom.........an illness had me down for a bit.

Thanks for that info, sprailroad. I didn't get much more than a general description in my research. The back has the most deterioration and (to me) is illegible.

Thanx, digger. It's a rental property, so it'll have to be re-gridded before the new tenants move in.

Nice finds. I like that Civil War Button.

Thank you, Trezurehunter. The button really surprised me........my first.

The front is in nice shape, Tangelone. Thanks............

LOL........I don't find many IHP's, Argentium. But, I'm sure there are more out there to be uncovered!

Chizzy, I retired with 33yrs in Maint. of. Way, First with SP, then UPRR. And I did live in Phila. in the early 70's. The button, looks to be an older style, as far as a back mark, I don't think there is much to lose, so I'm thinking of a soak in lemon juice perhaps? Others could weigh in on that. A back mark could help give a rough time date. Always enjoy finding any kind of military button.
