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.
