Here is a cool button! This is the National Home Disabled Solders & Veterans Coat Button. It has the Post Civil War Backmark of "STEELE & JOHNSON / (WATERBURY. CT ) " on the 24 mm size and is in fine non-excavated condition. This very solid button has the gold gilt in the protected areas. A home was established in Washington, DC to house aging or disable Civil War veterans who could not otherwise provide for themselves. Being former soldiers, they were given uniforms to use on ceremonial occasions. This button will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War button collection. This pattern is listed as VN 50B in Albert's button book.
