"Dear Mr. XXXX,
Thank you for your email of January 29 that has been forwarded to me for a response.
We often receive inquiries like yours requesting that we identify a button. More often than not we are unable to because although we have representative samples of many of the metal sew-on buttons made in the past by Scovill there is no catalogue of reference.
In your case, however, I can identify the button to be one made for the Alabama Corps of Cadets (University of Alabama) that were manufactured by Scovill in Waterbury, CT during the 1850's.
I hope that information helps you.
Regards,
Frank A. Wright
Vice President, Marketing
