Bennett W. Green, CSN-- Part 9: Some More On That Button
The button was made by Firmin & Sons, London, an outfitter of the Confederate Navy during the war.
There is an accompanying tag that reads: "This button was given to me by my friend Dr. B.W. Bennett of the Confederate States Navy -- being one that was worn by him while in actual service. It is very highly prized.
W.H. Scott
November 1894"
