Description: An excellent example of a 2 piece Civil War era or Pre Civil War "B.C.P.I." button Albert# PI-4-A page 272. This attractive button for years has been identified as Band Corps of the Philippine Islands. It has been proven not to be as previously identified. This has been determined to be a pre Civil War cadet or school button. It's size is the same as many cadet/school buttons, as is the backmark. "B.C.P.I." stands for BROOKLYN COLLEGIATE & POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE founded in 1854. Because these buttons are often found in the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut area, I believe this to be a solid identification. Backmark reads RMDC "SCOVILL MFG CO.WATERBURY.". Most all of the original gilded finish remains. Button measures 20.39mm. See photos for condition details. All buttons are guaranteed to be original and of the period indicated in the description. Nearly all buttons being auctioned on Ebay will have a starting bid of $9.99, with no reserve ever, regardless of the button's value.
