Those of you who are button researchers. What would the proper "star button" from Texas be in late 1860? I have several newspaper references from Nov and Dec 1860 referring to Texas secession cockades made with either silver or gold five pointed stars in the center of them. I understand from some cursory research that Hyde and Goodrich of New Orleans were producing buttons as early as 1852, and then were supplying Texas CSA buttons, along with others, but would they have made the earlier Texas star button? And would it have been the same type as the one here from the MOC? http://www.moc.org/site/PageServer?p...xas_Button_img
Thank you for any help you can give me.
