I have a button, with an "M" or could be a "W" on one side, in the
style of mid-1800s university buttons. I have combed through research books to find out
what the M, or W, stands for. Michigan? Wisconsin?
The back side says "Hackett Carhart & Co."
I got it in a pile of Civil War Buttons.
Does anyone have any informations about Mr. Hackett?
I'd like to see this button stay in your family rather than sell it on e-bay.
Interested? E-mail me at squid(a)gci.net, and I'll send photos.
