Button was found east of the stone wall at the Wheatfield on the Gettysburg battlefield by local resident John Cullison, who excavated relics on the field from 1935-1959. Cullison sold his collection to the famed Gettysburg Rosensteel family, who held the primary collection of Gettysburg artifacts.
Button retains some of the gilt finish. Backmark illegible. [WS]
