Two desirable Confederate buttons: a Confederate block ‘C’ brass button with a backmark of “H T & B, Manchester” as worn on the uniform coat of a cavalryman, approximately 1″ in diameter, with a face featuring a stippled, Roman block letter “C” displayed against a smooth background with a raised edge; and a scarce Confederate local block ‘A’ brass button as worn on the uniform of an enlisted artilleryman, approximately 1″ in diameter, with a face featuring the simple Roman block letter “A” displayed against a plain background. In overall very good to fine condition.
