4 Hole Richmond Depot Button

This high dome, four hole, buttons

seem to be extensively used in

Richmond Depot jackets.  It has

a slightly smaller outer diameter

and a  smaller diameter thread

well than what is typical for rhe

two hole button.  Another subtle

nuance is the slight flat area

just next to the thread well

which is not seen on the two

hole buttons. This style button

was originally producted by

the Gibson brothers and is the 

subject of  a recent internet

article.

Note on Button Manufacturing Plant Winter Of 1862-1863
"While on an inspecting tour in Columbus, Ga. in the winter of 1862-63, I was informed that wooden, horn and bone buttons were being manufactured there, and I visited the plant. The factory was owned by a former lieutenant of the Confederate army, who had lost an arm in one of the early battles.

The motive power of his factory was an engine of moderate horsepower that had been used to run a printing press. So complete were the saws, borers, and drying kilns that in the
final process of their manufacture the completed buttons dropped into the hoppers with as much rapidity as nails from a nail making machine."
Dr. S.H. Stout, Medical Director of Hospitals in Confederate Veteran Magazine.

Our button making machines are not quite so rapid  as the originals but they do produce one of the finest reproductions of  wooden, recessed center, two hole Confederate wooden buttons.  These buttons compare favorably with the originals often seen on the mystery jacket and other depot produced Confederate jackets. They seem to have been distributed from the Trans-Mississippi to the Atlantic coast.  Our reproductions are made from kiln-dried native hardwoods left in their natural color. They have an oil finish applied to the natural wood. They compares very well with the original specimens.
