Vintage Imrie/Risley 18th Century Military Button Recasts – Revolutionary War Display
Vintage Imrie/Risley Miniatures display featuring three pewter recast military buttons based on original examples excavated at Revolutionary War campsites and battlefields.
The original informational card identifies the three designs as:
- 10th Regiment, Massachusetts Line, 1777–83
- Royal Regiment of Artillery, ca. 1780–1800
- U.S.A. Continental Button, 1775–83
Produced by Imrie/Risley Miniatures of Richmond Hill, New York, these buttons were created as historical reproductions of period military buttons. They are reproductions and are not original 18th-century artifacts.
The surviving original display card adds considerable character and context to the set and includes historical information about each button design.
