Hey Pappy I got this button I beleive is a civil war naval button. Its an eagle sitting atop an anchor, with 13 stars around the edge. The scan isnt the greatest. Hoping you can shed some light on it for me. Its a cuff button with a shank it also did have some writing on the back but cant read it. Thanks Pappy I look forward to hearing from you.

Yes, Civil War era. Called a "GOODYEAR" Naval button. Made in a union Button Die. Usually naval buttons that were used in the Civil War either had C.S.N or U.S.N. right under the anchor but yours is an exception. VERY NICE FIND....PAPPY

Thank you so much Pappy. I was hoping you could confirm what I thought. Any idea what it might be worth. I know what its worth to me. Just curious I guess. Thanks again.

In really good shape it would bring around $75.00.
