Dallas, Georgia Dug Confederate Infantry "Lined I" Coat Button CS172
Click on an image to enlarge
This is a fine dug original Confederate coat size Infantry uniform button. This is the style referred to by collectors as the "Lined I" because on the inside of the block "I" for infantry on the front is small lines. This one has a nice greenish brown patina. It has the original back and shank intact and traces of the correct Civil War "SUPERIOR QUALITY" backmarked back. They left the maker's name off of the back so it could be sold by any retailer without advertising for the actual maker. This is the style listed as CS172 in Albert's book and CSI203a3 in Tice's button book. The "I" is super clear on the front with an attractive look. The verbal history that accompanied the button is that it was recovered in Dalton, Georgia which was the location of a fierce battle on May 28th 1864 as part of Sherman's Campaign to capture Atlanta. This is a fine original Civil War Confederate Infantry Button.
