Button Help.

[Garabaldi]

The back says EXTRA SCOVILLE. Half the front is missing. I have seen a button like this before. Does anyone know what button it is and find an image? I also found a War of 1812 button next to it.

This Artillery button i think made about 1860, it should read : Scovills & Co ..EXTRA.. I don't have a book, so going by memory on the Date.

Nove Treasure is right.
That backmark can go back to the 1850's though.

Thank you gents.
Could anyone post an image of what this button looks like in original state?
Thanks if you can.

I didn't have a pic of an A handy but it would look like this

 

[Garabaldi]

Thank you very much vayank. I didn't even realize there was an A on this button until you meantioned it. I guess its an Artillery button.

The seller on eBay thinks they are WWII buttons. They are CW. Apparently he doesnt have access to the experience of TN. Happens quite often on eBay, more often at flea markets and yard sales.

Several buyers noticed the error and paid $36 in a bidding war. If they were WWII, he wouldnt get 2 bucks. I dropped out of the bidding at $20.

 

[Garabaldi]

Wow. Thats all I have to say about that.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I wasnt sure myself if they were real but I would have gambled at $20. I think they were.
Thats your button face, different backmark.

That's a good find regardless.
I would go back there and spend some time!
