Description

This grouping has four non-dug, two-piece "CSA" brass buttons measuring just under 7/8" in diameter. Three of the buttons are in unissued condition and have bright yellow brass, while the fourth exhibits some mild surface oxidation across the domed portion. All of the buttons are marked, "SUPERIOR QUALITY," on the reverse. Also included is a December 14, 1864 dated uniform receipt for $190 to an H.M. Beck serving in an Alabama regiment. The ink has faded, making some of the writing difficult to read, however the paper is in very good to fine condition, with some age toning. The slip is housed in a modern double-sided frame that measures 13" x 12 1/4". These items are further encased in a 14 1/4" x 20 1/4" Riker box.
