Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:150455 | Modified Item: No |
Included are two non-dug Civil War era two-piece US Navy officers' buttons with the anchor fluke behind the eagle's wing, the common Civil War design (Albert's NA112) with use beginning in the 1850s.
The coat size (22 mm) button is listed as Tice's NA227A. This button has the depressed mark backmark "D. EVANS & CO. / ATTLEBORO MASS." with an inner ring of dots. This exact backmark is not covered by Tice or Bazelon and McGuinn, but both date a similar three-piece ...backmark (no period after MASS) from 1860 through the 1870s. This example is in excellent condition, with no pushes and a straight shank.
The vest size (17 mm) button is specifically listed as Tice's NA227Am3 with the dm backmark "D. EVANS & CO / SUPERFINE". Tice pictures this backmark on page 23 (Plate B-5, Image 6) and dates it circa the 1860s. This example is in very good condition with a slightly bent shank and some evidence of wear.
For shipping, we use well-padded boxes and always combine costs on multiple lots (less USPS insurance over $100).
