  • T. Miller Houston Depot Buttons

    Gents-

    Some Trans-Mississippi T. Miller Houston Depot Confederate buttons. These were all found in the Texas-Lousiana area at sites that saw action between 1863-1865 IIRC. These are all brass cast type buttons with blank backmarks for the most part. You will note that one of them does have a maker mark cast into the back though. It's rather hard to read but does seem to say T. Miller. Not sure how they will post in regards to the fronts and backs being with the correct button but the backmark goes with the "C" button.

    Enjoy!
