Civil War Officers Button, 1840's-1850's @MORE PICS@
« on: May 05, 2013, 10:08:52 am »
Got this at a garage sale, been trying to do some research, and found a few links.

Here are the links
http://generalstaffbuttons.com/pre-civil-war-photos/
http://relicman.com/buttons/zBackmarkWarranted.htm

Anyone know how to tell if it is a replica or not?

Yeah I saw that.

I just want to figure out if mine are real, and what they are worth roughly

The back looks correct on these !!  The face,, does not !! There are minor differences and it does not show the wear I would expect !!  Are they all the same in that respect ??

They are all slightly different conditions. some have better fronts, and some have cleaner backs. I'll try to add more pics soon.

Any idea on their worth? I found this website with similar buttons for sale, but the price ranges from $25 all the way up to $5,000 and I honestly have no clue what make them expensive or not.

It will all depend on their rarity...if there, hundreds about, the price will reflect this,if there are only a few then they will command a higher price...
