    Does anyone know what these are ? Are they uniform buttons ? They are marked F. F. Hassam Boston Frederick Fitch Hassam was the founding member. He was a cutler from 1853 - 1856 then formed a partnership: Kingman & Hassam, 1856 - 1860 and then formed Hassam Brothers with his brother Roswell H Hassam , opening for business in Washington Street in 1861. The company made edged instruments like bowies, knives, razors, bayonets, etc and were official federal contractors for these items, muskets, etc. Interestingly, not all the marks are 'Hassam Bros, Boston' - there are a fair many 'Hassam, Boston' indicating a split of some sort or maybe just work by Frederick on his own in the early years.
