Varied Grouping of Non-Dug Federal Brass Items, as follows:
US oval belt plate with arrow hooks. Full lead, a few dings from use and a splendid natural patina. Accompanied by a 20th century penciled note identifying the plate to William Milton Bigelow, Co. "A", 14th New Hampshire Volunteers. Private Bigelow enlisted on August 14, 1862, mustering out some three years later. Primarily engaged in provost and guard duties, the 14th New Hampshire did see combat at Cedar Creek and Winchester.
Homemade wooden keepsake box carved to look like a Parrott shell, 2.5" high, contains gilt Eagle "I" coat button (Waterbury Button Co. backmark) and a note reading "Officers Button / Grandpa's". Excellent condition.
Infantry bugle hat device, stamped brass. Original surfaces, retains attachment loops.
Silver hat letters "N" and "H", 5/8" high. Likely for "New Hampshire". The letters retain attachment wires, excellent condition.
Eleven varied Federal buttons. Included are a three-piece General Staff coat button with R & W Robinson backmark; a cadet's ball button; eight General Service eagle buttons with various backmarks and an eagle button with poncho loop on back.
