Here are 4 buttons, the eagle has a push, but the back is odd. Two others are what i believe you call flat buttons. The last one i was wondering if you had any ideas?

Hey Pete, Looking at the back of the Eagle tells me that this is a Post Civil War, maybe even post Indians War button because of the design of the shank. The two Coin (Flat) buttons are in the Civil War Era and could be Pre Civil War (could tell you more if they has back marks). The other button is unknown (maybe a Work Clothes type) with the iron back?

Hope I've Helped, Happy Research, Roger

Sorry for digging up this old post:

Hey, Free2Dtect...

One thing I noticed right away...

The button with the V... has morse code for the Letter V on it.

"..._"

I hope that wasn't obvious to everyone else... I will be embarrased if it is.
