Need help with button ID

Spent a few hours yesterday looking for a CW RR guard camp. Found this Navy button, but cannot match it up to anthing in Albert's. The Backmark is WATERBURY BUTTON CO. **. Going by the Backmark book, this backmark is supposedly 1861-1865, but there is something about this button that just doesn't "Look right" Any help would be appreciated <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
Thanks and hh...

Hey Mike, Nice button. I can identify it. It's my button and I lost it where you found it. It has an eagle and anchor on it and has a Waterbury makers mark. How's that for identifying?? Nice find Mike, hope you find the R.R. guard camp.(Then holler at me to come hunt--Hint Hint!!) <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">

This area is a challenge to hunt to begin with. High Tension towers going over the property, in addition to Amtrack's wires are making my machine(s) go nuts <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":("> Let me know if you ever get up this way, I have a couple of different areas that are a little easier to hunt <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">

Unfortunately I,m covered up with work this time of the year but could possibly get away sometime in the fall. Thanks for the offer. <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">

Hey nice button. I have one exactly like that. Same amount of stars and everything. However my back mark is
D Evans and Co Attleboro Mass
My digital camera is broke so im trying to find a way to get it posted. If anyone can help me with the identification of the button it would be much appreciated. I cannot find it in Alberts button book either.
Thanks,
Joe
 
One difference in the buttons I just noticed Mike. The difference i noticed was that my buttons anchor seems to be a bit longer going up to the left wing of the eagle and then dropping with a more rounder curve..
Man I wish I can get it posted.
Thanks
Joe
 
Expecially since it has the D. Evans backmark <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">

Just as long as I can get the time off of work <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">hh...Mike
 
I would date your button circa 1866-1870. It is Navy, but a little post war. Still a nice example and a good button. Good hunting, David @ Dixie <center><a href="http://www.dixie-metal-detectors.com"><img src="/metal/html/d-m.jpg"></center>
