Thought it was another blazer button but not certain for

It still might be a blazer button, but something tells me it's got a little bit better quality to it and More detail. Anyone know anything about the fob other than being from Kentucky?

That one is a US Navy button,I think late 1800s at the earliest, but more likely WW1-WW2 era. It has a tin back that has rotted away. That being said, the face looks very similar to the CW period tin backs, will look at my books a bit more.

I like the Kentucky fob!! BTW the glass domes bridle rosette on your avatar is quite nice. I have a very similar one with a V on it. Any chance you can post a close-up of the front and the back? Here's mine...

I think his avatar pic is a Confederate Script I uniform button from the civil war, and a beauty at that, probably Isaac and Campbell. That being said, I love your rosette...awesome find.

No problem guys. I enjoy any compliments and info. Thanks for the info on the navy button btw Erik. The eagle didn't look quite Civil War.

Thanks. BTW Dan was the one who provided the info on the button--military buttons are not in my area of expertise
