1800's Military Button

lockollector · Mar 24, 2015

This past Sunday PappyGriff and I embarked on a woods hunt where we stumbled on an old home site, no structure. My first find was an 1843 large cent and PappyGriff found what looks like a sword blade and we dug a bunch of misc. relics. Among them was this military cuff button. It is embossed with "Scovills & Co. Extra. I believe mid 1800's?

General Services Eagle button. Scovills & Co backmark used 1840-1850.

I found those dates as well based on the name format. I would be interested to know if any of these were found on or near any war activity.

Absolutely. Sounds like a great spot.

+1. I would certainly be checking the surrounding area pretty good.

There's at least a couple of years worth of hunting there.
