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.

Civil War C.S. block I button.
This button is Albert's CS181 and Tice's CSI250 B1. Tice says the button
is 23 mm; this one is more like 22.4 mm. It has a blank backmark with a dimple
design, and I think it was made by E. M. Lewis and Co. of Richmond. It was
recovered in a Confederate camp in King William County, Virginia. This is a
good, solid button in all respects, except that the shank, although intact,
is broken away from the back, as shown in the photo. It is easily repaired,
but I don't do that. The front is very nice. There is a crease along
the front of the "I"; it was likely done during the manufacturing process.
A decent and unusual Confederate button for your collection.
