In reply to: leadhead(SC) 's message, "Austin, here is the SC button with Charleston backmark!" on Sunday, November 23, 07:56:26pm

I knew someone could come through...from Jim Rogers post on the Treasure Depot...
======================
"AMERICAN MILITARY BUTTON MAKERS AND DEALERS;THEIR BACKMARKS & DATES": Philip Schuckman, Charleston, SC, 271 King St. Clothier and fancy goods dealer from 1856-after 1900. The firm was not listed in military goods until 1878. However, a 2 piece SC button with small impressed letters has been dug from a CW site. This suggests that Schuckmann may have handled SC buttons before or during the CW. Other Schuckmann-marked buttons having large letters appear to be post-CW. They include AK-2A2 & several different unlisted SC buttons.

Hope this information is what you were looking for. I would say that you have a really great and possibly rare button there. Congratulations! Jim
==============================

Did you dig it...where?

Greg
