Civil War button?

matmit · Feb 18, 2017

I found this today in an area with some history.
Unfortunately, it just crumbled in my hand as I unearthed it

I can make out the letters LLIEN on one side of the back and MANN on the other.
What is left of the front appears to have an I on the chest of the eagle.
The back which is intact, is 20mm in diameter.

Thanks all.

so far, the ones I have seen on the net have different tail feathers?

1850-1877 was the range they were in business together.

By 1865 they had stopped using the RMDC (Raised Marking in a Depressed Channel), so looks good!
