Looks like a 'chicken eagle ' button. Post CW, pre 1900.

It is not my intention to link to sales pages, but it is the only way to identify them. I ask the moderator, that if I breach any rule of the forum, the links will be deleted.
The buttons seem to be from the US Civil War.

I do not believe the eagle appears to be the “chicken” variety. I have a few and they look different. That eagle looks very much like CW. Cool find. That eagle carried on after the war for just a few years before the chicken neck eagle came on. If it has a blank backmark I would suspect it’s immediately after the war.
