Squeaker Posted April 7, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2014 I was wondering what garments these may have come off of. Also, is there much of a market for these for restorations. The General Service button is the size of a quarter and has no backmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dag Posted April 7, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 7, 2014 The US Army General Service button at the top would have come off a coat. The others might have come off a shirt or jacket, they were also used on underclothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitter2k1 Posted April 7, 2014 Share #4 Posted April 7, 2014 The 3 in the middle row look like WWI era pewter trouser buttons. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted April 8, 2014 Share #6 Posted April 8, 2014 Lets see a straight on close up front and rear of the top eagle button, it looks like an early one piece stamped late 20s-30s type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted April 14, 2014 Share #9 Posted April 14, 2014 Yep, a shoulder loop or pocket button, most likely late 1920s- 1930s, the one's down the front were of course larger. Not sure if these were issue or private purchase, perhaps others will clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
