Civil War Robinson Extra button with script "BP" on front

Hi,

I found this button along with some Civil War era navy buttons and GAR buttons at a local estate sale. This one has me baffled. I cannot figure out what "BP" could stand for. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Eddie

Could this be the folks who made the button you found? http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1026/is_3_164/ai_108196778

Could be R & W Robinson as well....you can find alot of their buttons on the net...

Nice find,
Annmarie

I was think that "BP" in that lettering stood for British Pound but need to know what the backmark says
