Cuff Size Rhode Island State Seal Staff Button by Robinson

This is a beautiful non-excavated cuff size Rhode Island state seal staff officer button. This one has the state seal of the great state of Rhode Island on the face of the three piece button. The anchor is in the center with the wording "HOPE" across the top. It has a fine amount of the original gold remaining in down in the recesses to make the designs stand out. The original back and shank are intact and it has the correct Civil War backmark of "ROBINSON. MAKERS*" . There are two tiny holes on the back of the button that are mentioned for exactness. This is the style listed as RI7av in Albert’s button book and RI201AS2 in Tice’s button book. This is a superb non-dug original Civil War Rhode Island Uniform button.’
