Civil War buttons are interesting artifacts, with diverse specimens representing regiments from many states and revealing a soldier's rank, whether it be private or officer. Military uniform buttons from this period are intricate and ornamental, inscribed with regimental insignias and state seals. Identifying a uniform button from the Civil War era (1861 to 1865) requires careful scrutiny of different criteria such as design, material and manufacturer markings.
Identify the design on the front of the button. It should have a state seal, which was incorporated into the button on Civil War uniforms.
Examine the button composition. Most Civil War uniform buttons were made of brass, silver plate or pewter. Brass is the most common.
Inspect the shank on the back of the button. The shank is a small loop used to attach the button with thread. The way the shank is attached indicates the era in which the button was manufactured. Civil War era buttons usually show a circular depression at the base of the button around the shank. A small, very round shank 'eye' also indicates a Civil War period button. Shanks inset into holes in the button didn't happen until after World War I.
Inspect the button's 'back mark.' This is lettering on the back of the button which identifies the button manufacturer. Scovill & Co. Waterbury, Manufacturing was the most prolific military uniform button manufacturer during the Civil War. W.H. Horstmann & Sons was another popular button maker during that era.
The TRIUMPH Burner by Benedict and Burnham. J.G. Hallas' patent #208,309, September, 24, 1878. |
The following passages are from the Work Record Pocket Diaries of Charles Somers Miller, Waterbury, Connecticut. Mr. Miller performed a number of odd jobs, but had substantial experience as a blacksmith. His diary entries chronicle scores of days working for Benedict & Burnham. Best civ 5 mods. He also did repair work or made wagons for Holmes, Booth & Haydens. Saturday, February 11, 1899. While I was there yesterday Young Mr. Kenworthy from Benedict & Burnhams came to see if I would go there monday to work forging, in the place of Wallace Burgess who is sick. Friday, March 10, 1899. Worked to day at Benedict and Burnhams, blacksmithing. Wednesday, March 29, 1899. Worked at Benedict and Burnhams,Mr. Byers told me that they would likeme to stay and work next week. Monday, April 10, 1899. This day I worked at Benedict & Burnhams Irving carried me down, and came after me at night. Benedict and Burnhams require four large engines to drive its machinery. They also have eight small engines located in different parts of the concern to use when the large engines are not running.They keep fourteen horses in the barn, six of which they use on double teams, the rest single, also they have a locomotive which is in constant use.The different departments are. [paraphrased]The Office, Mill, Seamless Tube, Braised, City, Heat Steam & Light, Wire Mill, Shipping, Yard, and Barn departments. Friday, April 28, 1899. There was a severe frost this morning and it was cold, worked at Benedict and Burnhams, Mr. Byers told me that the work is caught up and that they would not need me after tomorrow night. But would like to have me come again when they are busy. University of Pennsylvania, http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu |
The RADIANT Burner by Benedict and Burnham. W.N. Weeden's patent #131,918, October 1, 1872. |

Weeden's Lamp-Socket by B&B. W.N. Weeden's #167,371, Patented August 31, 1875. Photo courtesy Hugh Pribell |
As early as the 1840's, the company was involved in the manufacture of whale oil lamps. They made a number of quality lamp burners, as many fine examples survive today. The Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing Company was assigned at least twenty-four patents between September 29, 1868 and November 8, 1898. See the patent table below for details. Noteworthy inventors include James G. Hallas, assignor of six patents, and William N. Weeden, assignor of eleven. Hallas and Weeden collaborated on another two patents which were also assigned to B&B. Weeden is also credited with at least seven additional lamp/lighting patents prior to those assigned to Benedict & Burnham.Hallas' patent #187,007, February 6, 1877, was for a machine to thread lamp collars, so it's safe to assume they made collars as well.
