I will be very happy if someone can help me identify a button. My neighbor found this button in her “bits and pieces” box, diameter about 2 centimeters. Button is now located in Norway.
I have not managed to find the connection between "New Providence Militia" and the rest of the pattern; The crowned floral badges of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland: Heraldic badges of England (Tudor Rose), Scotland (Thistle) and Ireland (Shamrock). Could this button have been used on uniforms during the civil war?
