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"

Bennett W, Green, CSN-- Part 8: His Button in a Museum

From Antiquescientifica.

This button is now in the American Civil War Museum.

There is a guilt brass CSN coat button with an identification tag dated 1894, that said the button belonged to Surgeon Bennett Wood Green (died 1913).  Charlottesville, Virginia.

It refers to a photograph that says they were officers of the CSS Shenandoah.  I wrote about this photograph earlier and believe some of the officers were from the Shenanoah, but I don't thing Green was.  But, he was in England after the war and had served on the CSS Stonewall.
