Dating waterbury buttons

How far post ? Is there a good book or preferably website for looking up the back stamps? Welcome to Tnet The backmark on the button dates to post but I don't know how far past is goes. One way to tell the button is post civil war is the eagle's head and neck. I've never seen a civil war staff with that head and neck on the eagle.

Most are to general or have mistakes. I have a very similar button. Found it years ago but am just going through some old finds. Originally Posted by duggap.

So, despite lacking the word "Extra" in the backmark, I think his button dates to sometime between the latter part of the civil war into the s I didnt even notice the lack of serifs. This was a very old thread that the I was led back to from a button photo in another. I found the book you gave me and I was too quick to make a judgement.

I guess I am the only one with such a very nice Engineer button. Thats not in a museum. Second, because Steve the commenter illustrates something alarming.

Despite my rather mean comment previous to his last one, Steve sent me an email this morning asking again about his buttons. Yea Looks like its pretty funny. No you not a total jeck. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope your buttons are worth millions.

And your right steve they are…. It is cut in the shape of a diamond and measures 2. It was made apparently for a year advertising promotional and came from my grand- parents who probably acquired it around It would be interesting to create one with coming up. Do you have one like it in the museum? Thank you for the write up about the Waterbury Button museum within a museum.

The button quester follow up comments are hilarious, sorry it had to be at your expense. LOL And maybe visit that museum someday, although I probably have a good portion of what they do! So, I have this button collection that I inherited from my Aunt Ida, and they look really cool and all but I need so cash. I could not resist.

Re: Waterbury Button Age?

Sadly, someone after this will yet again ask for info and help regarding their rare, c. It will never end, Steve. It will never end.

Yes even your article was good. Love your sense of humor. Yea Been a while being here,Will now O got some great news! I went relic hunting and dug 2 26mm large confederate engineer buttons the sunday before Thanksgiven. Look in the Albert book button Now that nobody ever new what the other button I dug that was a waterbury button with a manuscripte button just about like the ones in the confederate book Alberts. Now I no for sure what I have dug with no beating around the bush!

Since I found out the first button I dug way back when and wrote here I found out the the waterbury button was a make shift button the confederate used for a replacement late in the war. I had my heart on that button being a super nice button. That the guy who repled to my comments can have a real nice laugh now.

I,am not laughing but smiling BIG!!!!! If you want information on your Buttons or feel the need to post a pic of that rare Civil war Button, stop by our Facebook page and stop bothering Steve…lol! It has not been printes yet, because we are still looking for a publisher, who is interested, or a foundation, who can support the publishing. Do you know a publisher in USA, who would be interested, or someone who would support publishing of a book like that.

I found a solid brass button while metal detecting maine. I have a button that on the front is a roman soldier carved out of gold and some sort of resin or glaze over the top and it has 4 pegs that come on the sides as if to wrap string around and a loop on the back is there anyone who can tell me about it. Please advise as to how I can do this. Ran across this post while searching for Button Museums to visit in New England. Even better comments section. Is there a blog that features stoopid and annoying blog comments? Because I think you have a winner here. Your email address will not be published.

Comments What, no racist mammie doll buttons? Nancy, This blog is not associated with the Button museum at all.
