Button ID help.

I found this this morning. Any info will be appreciated.

That button is a fake and send it to me for disposal. Not! That is a Confederate cavalry button and a darned nice one! It is listed as Albert's CS 143. It should be a one piece button with a T. Miller, Houston backmark. That would make it a Texas cavalry button!!! I sure hope it is for your sake as that would be a very desirable button. Congrats!

DON'T....a small amount of a very mild dishwash detergent, water and a soft toothbrush. Anything else and you will destroy the value. Super nice find treat it like gold. TomB

T. Miller Cav button. Very rare!

I'm with Mike. Send it to us and we'll examine it for the next 30 years and get back with you.

Super button. Not everyone in their entire lifetime will come close to finding a T. Miller C. On the scale, it's somewhere around 8-9 out of 10 as far as rarity.

Congrats!
