Interesting button. Do you think it is civilian?

It' was in a union camp. Only military stuff is found there every time we hunt it.

It is a civilian button, there are many reasons it may be in a military camp. Coat sent from home, Confederate trophy, button fell off a civilian coat while visiting, sutler button etc.....

 

[UCVRelics]

Yep, a civilian button which are common for all the reasons @Package4 stated. What is the back-mark?

The romantic in me sees it as a ladies button carried by a soldier who wished to always have something of his loves with him.
And, I hope it was dropped as he scurried to safety on the battlefield and they were able to love a happy and long life together after the war.


(Once cleaned, try a graphite and paper rub on the reverse and you might can get part of the maker's info to learn more on the specifics...yes, I'm one of those "button people." I've loved buttons since childhood and fondly remember the old tins which smelled of mothballs and could spend the day going through the buttons putting like ones together- first on giant safety pins and later with needle and thread. It's fun creating the garment each button could have come from and the reason the buttons were kept when the garment was put in the rag bag. Yep, I think I was an easily entertained child.)

Some of the great relics experts here have already commented. Not one myself, but I do think this is a beautiful little find -- I like the image on the button.

my guess its a civilian button it does not look like a military button at all.

From what I can tell, haven't cleaned it yet. I can read SUPER, so I'm thinking it's made by SUPERFIN if that's correct?
Thanks

Once cleaned a little you might be able to ID what the flower is to help track it down.

It should be Superfin Paris

Just a guess, but I would have to say it is a ladies button. There are any of a number of reasons it ended up in a Federal Camp.
Once you have it cleaned up, it may be easier to identify.

I have to agree with @Georgia on his romantic twist.

Alabama Cadet Corps but haven't got much info on them?!

From the face pattern the ACC is going to be an Albany Citizens Corp button.
