Item: Confederate Infantry Coat Button - "Cast I"
Backmark: Blank
Construction: Convex, solid cast brass, one-piece.
Approximate size: 23 mm

Reference: Tice: CSI275A; Albert: CS 184
Comments: For several reasons, these buttons are one of my favorite relics of the Civil War. Its simplicity in design, its weight, and manufacturing crudeness, make a very attractive and thoroughly Confederate produced and used button. These buttons were made to last, and this example will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War button or general relic collection.
