This is a nice looking original Confederate made button for the state of North Carolina. This is the style referred to by collectors as the "Sunburst" because of the rays coming out from the center of the button. The center has the letters "NC". These buttons were designed with just a simple shank soldered onto the back which came off very easily. This is the version listed as NC15 in Albert's button book and as MC242 in Tice's button book. This one's shank is gone as is so often the case with these. The verbal history that accompanied this button is that it was found decades ago near Fort Fisher, North Carolina. Fort Fisher was a Confederate fort during the American Civil War. It protected the vital trading routes of the port at Wilmington, North Carolina, from 1861 until its capture by the Union in 1865. This is a fine looking button all the way around.
