[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 4977722, member: 220"] The button in the first picture is post Civil War. It's a great seal button...used from WW 1 on thru present. No real changes in it other than some years they made them with tin backs that will rust out. Most of them in our area will be WW2 era. The rest of the items look like misc homesite/farm equipment from the early to mid 1900s. I will highly recommend a ID book for your father. It's mostly for Civil War items but also has a section for commonly found items from before and after the Civil War. It is called Civil War Artifacts, A Guide for the Historian by Howard Crouch. It is an older book now but in several reprints...by far the best out there still. Another good one that can be hard to find is Charlie Harris's book called Civil War Relics of the Western Campaigns. It was the book that got me dreaming and drooling about relics and what could be found locally as it covers Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, etc. [/QUOTE]
