Texas Buttons

[lockster99]

Hi All. I found these two buttons at a site I didn't even know there was suppose to be a house. When the first came out of the ground I almost fell out! I've seen them called CW and also post CW. The back mark is Superior Quality on these. Looks like 23mm dia. Can anyone tell me for sure? Thanks.

Good clear picture of the reverse always help, the back-mark stated might include other clues like dots or stars etc....

Thanks guys. Trying to carefully clean them just enough to get a clear pic or two of the backs.

Here is a couple pics of the backs after a little cleaning. After some research and reading some old posts, I believe the lack of seriffs put them post civil war. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

By the looks in my book. "Record of American uniform and Historical buttons" page 256 and 257. They are post Civil War. My book doesn't have the Superior Quality listed as a manufacture of the buttons. Hope this helps.. Awesome buttons. I don't believe i have ever seen them posted on here before.

Good info. But seen both CW & post examples posted before. Not many though.

Thanks guys. I found conflicting info also. Dug around all over the internet and saw very few examples. I would never get rid of them....ever...but would like to know if they have some value. So stoked to have found them. Also found an 1895 Confederate reunion badge or drop. Gonna get a pic up soon. Thanks for looking.
