Can you folks help identify this button found near three others. The folks there claim it was Civil War. While tempted to say Excelsior, I do not see the 4 divisions in the shield at all, but either what looks like a bird, and insect or an aeroplane. It says on the back Brattleboro, Mass. It has 13 stars and an eagle on top looking left. Anybody have info on this one? Thanks, Osgood

Nice find and in great shape too!!
It doesn't look like a New York button to me, but I'm no expert.
Looks more modern than civil war era to me.
Hopefully some one else can be of more help.
Great find in any case... Congradulations,
Felix
