Lot of four early U.S. Marine coat buttons, ?", ca. 1850 and later. These scarce buttons show an eagle clutching an anchor under 13 stars. Most interesting is a specimen dug from a Civil War site. A really uncommon find, this button has a bent shank with verdigris on both sides. A light cleaning would be beneficial. Much of the backmark is obscured, however it was clearly made in "Attleboro" and is likely an Evans product. VG...Plus; Two non-dug buttons with Scoville backmarks. One of these retains full gilt; the other is toned a pleasing dark brown. VF...Plus; Post-Civil war example with an Art Metal Works backmark. VF.
