"Scovills made this extremely rare button during the 1840s." Depicted on the front of the button is "A flying eagle on a plain field grasps lined shield in the beak. The initials "S. C. M." are on a swallow-tailed ribbon below. The inscription "Northern Volunteers" lies along the bottom."
This rare button will be an excellent addition to any Civil War button or general relic collection.
