Confederate Western Theatre Puff "I" Infantry Button
SOLD
Item: Confederate Western Theatre Puff "I" Infantry Button
Backmark: Blank
Construction: Medium convex, two-piece.
Approximate size: 23 mm.
Condition: Good, excavated, shank may be partially present in built-up rust. The front has a dark green patina with a moderate push to one side of the letter "I". It has no cracks or breaks. The rear has a significant amount of solid rust build-up with no holes. This solid button has not been repaired.
Recovered: Augusta, GA area.
Reference: Tice: CSI244A1 Albert: Not listed.
Comments: These handsome buttons are referred to as "puff I's" due to the fact that the raised letter "I" is surrounded by a depressed region directly next to the border, gives the front of the button a "puffed out" appearance. This button will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War button or general relic collection.
