I'm thinking to early for Civil War...may be Colonial.  Have 16 in the bunch and all have most of the gilt remaining.

Thanks!
Best Regards from the Kansas-Missouri border,

Heard from Butch Holcomb, the publisher of American Digger Magazine.  He said he thinks the buttons date to the 1820's, but has no idea about the backmark.

Maybe belong to some company that was swallowed up by another button company before the Civil War.

Keep Diggin' and Dream'n,
Steve Warren
