Union navy button

[relic lover]

This came from the same new site as the union riflemen button I got two weeks ago. The whole place is a muddy crab apple thicket very tough going but quality finds. This one is about half an inch across the backmark is SCOVILLS & CO EXTRA. Circa 1840 or so as far as I can find. This is my first navy button and I am quite pleased with it!

Thanks guys. If only it could talk. Think of where it might have been, did it see the bombardment of Fort Sumter or the blockade Charleston?
