For sale is this fabulous looking antique 1860\'s, U.S. Civil War era, FederalNavy officer\'s uniform button. The button features an Eagle (looking to the left) perched atop a vertical anchor surrounded by thirteen (13) five-pointed stars around the perimeter of the button\'s face.Thisbutton has been in my private collection for over 25 years.
This top of the button is made out of metal which I believe to be eitherbrass or copper as it is not magnetic.This button is small measuring approximately .50\" in diameter. Look at the description photo of the button taken next to the Lincoln penny (penny not included) for comparison purposes.
On the front side of the button there is a spread-winged eagle perched atop a vertical anchor surrounded by a total of 13 five-pointed stars. Behind the eagle are vertical lines or ridges that fill in the field of the button\'s face. Around the outer most edge of the button\'s face is an ornate rope design edging.
On the reverse side of the button there is no “backmark” or manufacturer\'s name. The bottom portion of the button and its shank are made of stamped or rolled steel thus they are magnetic. The button\'s shank is a floating shank style that remains securely in place and swivels as it was designed to do.
