Eagle on cannon Artillery regt button help

[Showtime2385]

Returned to a good cellar hole today with the good weather and managed to come out with some keepers. Did a little filming to start a Youtube channel. Fiancee came out on top with this artillery button. Cant seem to find the exact button with these back marks in my book or online so if anyone can help id love to have more info on it. The back marks say "WISHART" above the shank and "NEW YORK" below the shank parallel of each other in a straight line. Thanks for looking and any help.

I did come across this but still don't see a single one with the same back marks.

I didn't look through them all, so wasn't sure. Looks like you've got a good site to hunt!

About half way down:

George Washington Inaugural Buttons ? *1802 ? 1865 *U.S. Artillery Regt.Artillery Corps &Militia Artillery

Albert’s Number: AY 48-R.3: RV 35
Variation: Ribbed Breech / Six Cannon Balls / Large Arabic Regiment Number “3”.
Present Condition: An Excavated Example, Strong Planchet Condition, A Strong High Relief Pattern Remains.
Isabela’s Notes: Wishart made these Numbered Artillery Regiment buttons in the early 19th century. All the regiments were issued the same button pattern, the only difference was the number of the regiment which was stamped on the bottom. The button’s pattern depicts a federal style eagle facing right, while standing on a cannon with a Ribbed Breech pointing left. On the left hand side, there is a Draped Flag hanging below the cannon barely above the canon balls. There are Six Cannon Balls piled on the ground in a Pyramidal Shape in front of the carriage wheel. Underneath the cannon in the bottom legend is a Large Arabic Regiment Number, “3” before the Regiment abbreviation, “REGt.” The high relief pattern is set on a plain flat field with a plain edge.
Reverse Button Analysis: This is a flat one-piece mold button with a loop shank The shank is original, and intact, but bent over. H.WISHART/N.YORK rm half circle of arrows.

There is no 3 on her button and the back marks are very different than this one

Sorry, was just going by the name of backmark. That said, look how the "REG" on both seems to be offset (of center) to the right just a bit. Wonder if yours had the 3, but was worn?

 

[Showtime2385]

It could have possibly had a 3 but the back marks seem to be the thing i cant match to any.

HI; Your button is a Continental Army Artillery Regimental button. It is very RARE. They were not mass produced. They were made by many different manufacturers at that time hence you are having a hard time with the back marks ok. Yours is in strong XF Condition with Full Shank. Value $1500 - $2000. This is based on my own personal experience of 47 years in the field ok. I have seen several different variations of it over the years and they always command a high value depending on Condition and a Full Shank. PEACE:RONB
