No cracks, pinholes, repairs or damage of any kind to this beauty! It's got the unlisted (in Tice) backmark of "Waterbury Button Co. * " outside a ring of slashes that resemble twisted rope. This button was almost certainly manufactured at the start of the 1860's but continued in production after the war. Of course, it is perfectly appropriate in a Civil War button collection. The shank is straight and solid, the gilt is stunning and the backmark is crisp. You'll find 50 shield buttons without gilt for every one with it!
 
This button was dug in Northern Virginia but I have no other information about where it was found.
