Great info, but would like to add that there is just one discrepancy in that though so others who find something and think that it is wrong. He states that the Confederate button with the waterbury benchmark is a fake due to the waterbury company not making buttons for the south. This link is a direct link to the waterbury website that states they made buttons for the north and south.....on a side note, I happened to find my first waterbury button back today yeahhh......HH....Bill
