Title: Button ID help Post by: IFINDNOTHING on February 12, 2011, 07:51:41 PM I found this last week, probably a "Claire's accessory". Found about 7" deep in sand about 100 yards from a popular beach if this is any help.

A nice and unusual find on these shores, It's a Union Navy button from around the time of the American Civil war. Title: Re: Button ID help Post by: The Doc on February 12, 2011, 08:12:54 PM I wonder if i's a modern repro Geoff?
Title: Re: Button ID help Post by: IFINDNOTHING on February 12, 2011, 08:24:09 PM Thanks Chef Geoff, Where do you get thet from?. Any idea about date? Thanks for the ID. as peterh says, I think its modern, but I don.
't know so I had to ask. Title: Re: Button ID help Post by: Chef Geoff on February 12, 2011, 08:38:24 PM Well if it were authentic it would date to the 1860's, I have to admit I can't find any with the vented back that yours has, but then again I can't find any modern repro ones with it either. So as it would only be 150 years old even if it was real, therefore it may be virtually impossible to ever find the truth.
