So I was looking over some buttons I found at my usual property and most have been either early 1800s (1812) to mid 1800s (Civil War). I came across this button that was crusty. I decided to clean it and it has a backmark I cannot seem to identify. It has what looks like "Double Gilt" with an eagle facing right above the lettering. I saw some earlier posts about eagle backmark but none with Double Gilt. I have been on a button spree with the Nox lately and have been really into them. Maybe because the last time it was touched it was on someone's coat a long time ago. Either military or civilian, it makes it a little more personable I guess. Any ideas on this one?
