Those of us who regularly hunt
sites that produce buttons know that there are so many varieties that it can be
difficult to identify and place in their proper time period. The Albert “Record
of American Uniform and Historical Buttons” has long been the go-to source for
that information.
Here is the publisher’s description
of the book:
“The standard reference since its
first publication in 1977. Albert and his wife Lillian were pioneers in the
field of button collecting and were known nationwide. Over 3200 buttons are
pictured actual size with known back marks and relative values shown. They
include: US Military of all periods from Colonial on, Confederate, both of the
state and CS Government, Schools both civilian and military, Commemorative,
Political, Militia, Veterans Organizations, Federal Departments and much more.
Alberts individual coding system for each button is an invaluable reference
tool and is used by collectors and dealers world-wide. This book is a must have
for anyone interested in the identification and study of American buttons.”
