This is a super fine example of an original coat size 33mm hard rubber Confederate Navy button. According to records this is the type intended for issue sailors of the C.S.S. Texas. The vessel carrying these to the Confederate States was intercepted and contents sold by the British.

The button has the anchor entwined with crossed cannons. Beneath the motif are the letters "CN" for Confederate Navy. The edge of the button is done in the rope border design. This button pattern copied the US navy style of Goodyear’s patent. It has an excellent look that gives it a superb display.

The backmark of the Confederate model bears "COURTNEY & TENNENT . CHARLESTON. S. C./ MANTON'S PATENT" with a delicate swan above the eyelets. This is listed as CS60 in Alphaeus Albert's pioneer button book and CSN222A1 in Tice's fine study. This is a beautiful original Confederate coat size navy button.
