I have several New York National Guard buttons. "Excelsior" is at the top of the rim, and "National Guard" is at the bottom. "N.Y.S.A." is on a ribbon above "National Guard". There is an eagle with a shield in its mouth. These were made by Scovill MFG Co. in Waterbury Conn. Are these Civil War? I really don't know.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

I've found one second-hand source that places this as early 20th century, but I don't have the right references, so won't confirm it. NYSA is for New York State Artillery. Had a connection with the old 7th New York (later re-designated 107th, from your earlier post.

Researching the same button you inquired about 6 years ago. Any information is appreciated.
