This little cuff or kepi button has a lot going for it. About 85% gilt, no cracks, holes or repairs and a strong, nearly straight shank. If there is a flaw -- and this is a stretch -- it's that the back is minutely inverted...probably from much period wear and use. The back is NOT loose or broken at all.

The backmark is "Robinson Makers" or something to that effect. It is faint, but still legible under a loupe. Definitely PRE-Civil War.

This nice button was excavated on private property, with permission from the landowner, in Berkley Plantation, Virginia.
