Antietam Civil War Relic Found Mansfield Road Mumma Farm/East Woods Coat Button

Description

We are working as partners in conjunction with Gettysburg Relics to offer some very nice American Civil War relics for sale. The owner of Gettysburg Relics was the proprietor of Artifact at 777 on Cemetery Hill in Gettysburg for a number of years, and we are now selling exclusively on eBay.
THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM / RECOVERED FROM A FARM ALONG THE MANSFIELD ROAD / NEAR THE MUMMA FARM AND THE EAST WOODS FIGHTING - 22mm Brass Coat Size Confederate Type Button (Shank broken)
This 22mm Brass Coat Size Confederate Type Button (shank broken) was recovered by a relic hunter from a farm along the Mansfield Road at Antietam, close to the Mumma Farm and East Woods (private property, with permission). Judging by the battle maps, this would have been a Federal position.  I acquired this artifact directly from the digger before 2008
.
A letter of provenance will be included.
We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags if there are original identification tags or maps, as well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information.
All of the collections that we are offering for sale are guaranteed to be authentic and are either older recoveries, found before the 1960s when it was still legal to metal detect battlefields, or were recovered on private property with permission. Some land on Battlefields that are now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, were acquired after the items were recovered. We will not sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally.
Thank you for viewing!
