Very Nice Dug Confederate Block -I- Infantry Button w/Stars & Original Tinback & Shank

[ NOTE : I SOLD this button a few months ago, but that man’s collection is now going in a different direction and I was happy to buy it back.] 

Here is An Excellent & Uncommon Confederate Block -I Infantry Button with Stars ! It is Albert’s CS186 & Tice’s CS1255. This example is also uncommon in that it still retains its original tin back and brass shank. It wears a great, mostly green patina on the face, with a little bit of ground action near one end of the -I device. At first glance, in hand, seven of the stars are visible, and if you turn it around in the light, another one or two is also visible. The only star that I can personally see on the I device is the one the middle. However, these buttons are uncommon, and often several of the stars are not visible due to wear. This one shows most of them, and really has a great look. Recovered near Richmond, Virginia. 22mm. A Great Displaying Confederate Block -I Infantry Button with Stars !

RARE Dug CS36 Confederate Staff Officers' Coat Button
RARE Dug CS36 Confederate Staff Officers' Coat Button

Here is a Fine Excavated CS36 Confederate Staff Officer’s Coat Button ! It’s the pattern with the eagle facing left on a lined field, encircled by eleven stars. This one has no pushes or cracks, and a nice green patina overall, with just a bit of what looks like rust around the eagle’s head. It may have been in close proximity in the ground to a piece of iron. That may also clean up with some gentle coaxing. There are hints of the original gold gilt in several of the lines, around the stars, and at the top inner edge of the eagle’s wings. The reverse shows a mottled plumb color, with just enough of the maker’s mark present to determine that it was “H T & B Manchester,” with shank still present and tight, though tilted slightly. The non-dug CS36 buttons are usually available and running around $1,000, but the dug examples seem to be fairly scarce. This one was recovered near Batesville, Arkansas. 24mm. A Nice Displaying and Uncommon, Excavated Confederate CS36 Staff Officer Button !
