I found a bunch of goodies I cannot believe I was just tossing these buttons away but on this particular one is it me or does it look a little bit like in the eagle wing and stars on the top maybe I’m deliriously tired you tell me your opinion? Last picture I put in different shading I think that’s an eagle with stars it looks like an old eagle I can’t sleep

It's a Navy button. See the anchor in the oval on the left, as you're looking at the button

All eagles. The third is just the back of one. As Village said, the eagles have landed.

Yeah I saw where the the two piece was made after the 1830s I think this is the flat one that was before that tic!! Omg I can’t believe this happened to me just by looking through old stuff thank God it’s been raining and freezing here in Louisiana for the past week I would’ve probably not have had the cabin fever to check my trash I didn’t isolate from Covid at all. I hear in Louisiana we hate wet cold more than Covid
