    Description

    A pair of Georgia State Seal Buttons still attached to Butternut Jacket pieces.
    A Rare Find Indeed.
    Found in the early days at what they call "The Measles Camp" in Centerville, Virginia.
    Many Georgia contracted the measles during the winter of 1861-62,
    Their uniforms were burned or buried to help prevent the spread of the disease.
    Never been cleaned!!!!
    Notice in the pictures where a small bit of normal excavated button crude flacked off revealing that these untouched buttons are loaded with Gold.
    A ONE OF A KIND FIND FOR YOUR COLLECTION.
    Both buttons were found together, thus they get sold together.
    These buttons these to be Albert's # GA 1.
    Also note: Buttons are still fastened through the button holes in the fabric...this means the jacket was buried buttoned up... maybe removed over a sick soldiers head.
    Condition is Used.Shipped Free in button case with Riker Display Case. USPS First Class Package.
