rare little 16mm. ''Houston Depot button''. This little solid

style jackets and they took a smaller size button as this one. This

This
is a rare beautiful 22.4mm coat sized Regimental button believed to
be ''Ashland Grays''. It was once believed that it was
''Atlanta Guards'' as they were found in Confederate sites occupied
by Georgia and Virginia troops. The ''Ashland Grays'' were a
Virginia militia unit formed in 1860 and they served with the 15th
Virginia. A picture surfaced showing an identified member of
this unit wearing a hat adorned with small letters ''AG''.
Where once thought to be ''Atlanta Guards'' none have been found
near Atlanta and the Atlanta Guards was formed well after the war
started. This rare beauty was found in Fredericksburg, VA and
has a great dark patina. The button also has the early
''Steele and Johnson'' backmark. Shank is missing in action.
This is a fine addition to an advanced Southern button collection.
$595.
