Confederate Buttons Dug & Non Dug
Fine Displaying Dug VA5 Virginia State Seal Coat Button - Recovered Albemarle County, Virginia
Fine Displaying Dug VA5 Virginia State Seal Coat Button - Recovered Albemarle County, Virginia

         NEW !

Here is a Fine Displaying Dug VA5 Virginia State Seal Coat Button ! It retains a good amount of its original gold gilt that very nicely highlights the state seal device of Virtus stomping out Tyranny, and the motto around the edges, “Virginia – Sic – Semper – Tyrannis.” Dating from about 1837 to 1847, these buttons are low convex anyway, but this one has a light broad push dead center that is noticeable, but not too distracting. The reverse shows a period correct “Young, Smith, & Co. + New York +” maker’s mark, that is mostly legible in hand, though doesn’t show good in my pictures, and an intact though tilted to one side shank. 22mm. Only recovery location I got with it was Albemarle County, Virginia. A Fine Displaying VA5 Virginia State Seal Button !

Fine ca.1870s to 1890s Post War AK4 Arkansas State Seal Coat Button
Fine ca.1870s to 1890s Post War AK4 Arkansas State Seal Coat Button

Here is a Very Nice AK4 Post War Arkansas State Seal Staff Officer Button ! Dating from the 1870s to the 1890s, this example still retains a generous portion of its original gold gilt, and shows no damage of any kind. The device shows a shield at center, with a steamboat, plow, beehive, and shock of wheat inside it. Left is the Goddess of Liberty, and right a diagonal banner with the words, “Regnant Populi”and “Justice” on it. Regnant Populi, or “The People Rule” was the Arkansas motto until 1906, when it was changed to “Regnant Populus,” basically the same thing, but it allows us to date this button, as being manufactured before 1906. The entire device is on a lined field. The reverse shows a maker’s mark of, “ M. C. Lilley & Co. Columbus O.”, and an intact copper shank. With Civil War Period Arkansas State buttons running in the neighborhood of $4,000.00, this shining beauty would make a much, much more affordable filler in your southern button collection. 22mm.

Early, 1820-1835 One Piece VA2 Virginia State Seal Coat Button
Early, 1820-1835 One Piece VA2 Virginia State Seal Coat Button

Here is a Decent Displaying Very Early VA2 Virginia State Seal Coat Button ! This pattern was made between 1820 & 1835, and is a one-piece button. This example shows quite a bit of ground action with a light green patina. There is a fairly heavy light green verdigris on the front that obscures the motto nearly entirely, though the seal device itself is still visible. The reverse shows the same light green patina, and in your hand, the entire raised maker’s mark of, “Young, Smith, & Co. New York” is visible. The shank is also still tightly intact, though tilted to one side. It might clean up a bit, but I’m not going to mess with it. 22mm.
