    Description

    Offered here is  this scarce original, circa 1830's non-dug, gilt brass coat button for a US Artillery officer.
    The button is one of two I currently have listed on eBay.  It measures 21mm, (approx. 13/16")
    and has crisp die struck details front and back. There is some grime on the face which will clean, I am sure. There is much of the gilt still remaining, and the shank is intact, though slightly bent. A scarce, early button in attractive condtion. (see photos) Uniform buttons of this period are very hard to find, especially those which have not been excavated. Offered with no hidden reserve and a low starting bid. Buyer to pay Priority post and insurance. (7.50) Combined post on multiple purchases.  Three-day inspection/ return on all items I offer if not as described.  US shipping only.   Thanks.
