6598. Albert, Alphaeus H., RECORD OF AMERICAN UNIFORM AND HISTORICAL BUTTONS Bicentennial Edition. 1976. 511p. This reference continues to be the “bible” of uniform button collecting. In this extensively researched work, the author includes histories, descriptions and ‘rarity’ values of buttons from the Continental US, to the War of 1812, to Civil War and post-Civil War and includes all styles of buttons used by the U. S. Revenue Cutter Service, Life-Saving Service, Lighthouse Establishment and Service and Coast Guard. Also includes Confederate, GAR, political campaign and other naval and military buttons. A MUST for collectors and historians. Hard bound, high quality with literally thousands of photographs. Becoming most difficult to find as it is now out of print. (M). $124.
