Catalog of button backmarks
Jacob Gminder, Baltimore MD
Jacob Gminder operated during the Civil War, and most of his buttons are definite post war. However there are some backmarks that may be period.
Most information on this page is from Tice's book, Dating Buttons..., the pictures are generally from buttons that I have handled.

between outer rings of dots, inner ring of hyphens, probably made by Steele
