Hillsborough button Civil War Hillsborough Military Academy button. This mid-size 19 mm button is Tice's # NCS270 Am1 and Albert's # SU150. It was recovered at a New York camp at Aquia Creek, Virginia. According to Warren K. Tice, the academy opened in January, 1859, modeled after the United States Military Academy, and most of the cadets and faculty joined the Confederate Army when war broke out. The school's commander, Charles C. Tew, was killed in the Bloody Lane at Antietam while leading the 2nd North Carolina Regiment. Much gilt remains on the face of this pretty button. The stand-up shank is perfect and enough of the backmark remains to recognize it as "SCHUYLER. H.&G./ N. YORK."

NMI button Ultra Rare, N.M.I. button/Nasemond Military Institute/Norfolk Military Institute. Alphaeus S. Albert classified this button as #SU280, belonging to the Nansemond Military Institute. Nevertheless, Warren K. Tice believes it belongs to Norfolk Male Institute. This school was located in downtown Norfolk, Virginia, in 1859 and may have existed a number of years previously. Tice says that "...all agree that Albert's Nansemond identification is inaccurate." The word "York" can be seen as part of the backmark, implying that this button was made by Wm. H. Smith & Co. of New York. It is Tice's #VAS282 A2. There is still a fair amount of gilt on the front of this 18 mm button. What I want you to understand, is that when I found this button, the (original) back had been pushed in (touching the inside of the front of the button), and I simply pulled it into position and anchored it with a small bead of Super Glue. You are bidding on a beautiful, genuine, Ultra Rare button with my perpetual satisfaction guaranteed policy.

Quite a bit of gilt remains and the very solid button is covered with a nice chocolate brown patina front and back. The back mark is very readable and the stand up shank is strong and solid. Along the rim on the back are two manufacturing flaws which shows that even Northern manufacturers suffered from some of the same difficulties that later plagued Confederate button makers. The flaws did not affect the appearance or strength of the button and if issued on a uniform would have been largely invisible. Thus it was sold and issued. A very neat button to have in your collection because of the two flaws along the rim. The button has not been repaired. Buy confidently as your satisfaction is guaranteed with this purchase.

Virginia cuff Button Pretty Virginia Cuff button tight backmark Virginia Cuff button/convex/VA 16Aa3/Tice VA230 As3 14mm. Steele & Johnson, bm/dm. According to Warren K. Tice (Uniform Buttons of the United States 1776-1865), this rare button was made by Steele & Johnson for the Virginia Militia around 1860, as were all the other buttons from this die, regardless of the backmark. While the A2 W. G. Mintzer PHIL. dm is common, Tice states, "Collectors seldom see examples with more desirable backmarks." The button retains enough gilt to highlight Virtus & Tyranny. I dug this one in Goochland County, Virginia about 15 years ago, and it has been in my personal collection since that time. I am growing old, my sons have no interest, so I have been gradually selling off much of my collection over the past several years, and that will continue.

Cherokee Indian Nation Button Coat-size Cherokee Rose button from Virginia. This button is usually identified as a Confederate button used by American Indian troops. It was tentatively identified as such by David F. Johnson in Uniform Buttons: American Armed Forces 1784-1948. It is not listed in Albert's Record of American Uniform and Historical Buttons. The seven-pointed star motif is similar to the six-pointed star motif on the Florida Cherokee Rose buttons that are known to have seen Confederate usage. Its one-piece construction and raised backmark indicate that it was made prior to The Civil War, so it wasn't made especially for Confederate troops. This does not rule out its use by Confederate Indians, as many items made prior to the war became Civil War items by virtue of their usage. The face of this button shows good detail. The backmark is "RICH GOLD/COLOR". The stand-up shank is present, but bent.

Rare Cavalry Button Ultra RARE Script C Cavalry Button. This coat size button was dug recently in Goochland County, Virginia and is as rare as any button you will encounter. The button is covered with an even brown patina overall with no repairs. The backmark is S. Issacs Campbell with a stand-up shank. (Under high magnification I have noted there is a very small hairline crack near the shank.) The face is most unusual and is adorned with a raised design that radiates in an outward pattern from the letter itself. This is not a gimmick nor has the button been altered in any way. This button was cast with this pattern on it. I personally excavated just such an example years ago in the same Virginia County, but that example had a much weaker pattern and the button was not as good. I am now going through my buttons to see if I still have that one, and I probably do, but it may have been traded away. (No, I did not dig this one.) I showed this button to a number of collectors at the North South (National Show) recently and some of you will remember having seen it. (It was well received.) I know I told you guys that I would not sell it, but circumstances have dictated otherwise. My apologies! Anyway, I had intended to keep this beauty for myself, but I need to sell off some more of my better relics. As always, authenticity guaranteed.
