Nice. What is that long silver looking thing??

I think it was a pin(brooch type thing), it has a place on back where pin was

Congrats on the nice finds! I like that Button, and the IH's look good, Beale.

Nice finds!!
I believe that button is a New York button.
I have one that has a different emblem, but has the words "excelsior" on it also.
Nice,
Felix

dangit man. We really dont have a chance to find buttons like that here. Not many cw relics around. Just a few dropped shots here and there. Congrates on the buttons.

well no civil action ever happened in my area either, I assume it was lost by a soldier who returned home! I am in NW Ohio

got to wonder what kind of history that button could tell....
