Item Number: M00582
Item Title: Button: CS Officers Shirt Button
Price: $225
Shipping: Not included
Provenance: US
Model: Button
Type: CS Army Officer
Book: Alberts 36A1 (but shirt size)
Location Recovered: Cape Fear, NC
Description:This is a super nice button especially to be dug. This shirt size 2-piece button has no dings or anything. The shank is still very straight and solid. Much of the gilt is there highlighting the stars and lined field. Would be a top notch button in any dug collection. The flat back has a nice smooth dark patina and is stamped "HT & B" "Manchester" which is easily legible.
This looks just like Albert's CS36A1 button but he only lists the coat size (24mm) and this one is smaller at 15.5mm.
Note this button was tagged with ID CS210AM2 when I bought it which might be a Tice's number but I'm not sure as I don't have that book.
