Catalog of button backmarks
Guiterman & Bro. Ann Arbor Michigan
Guiterman & Bro is clearly a custom retailer supplying the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor Michigan. This maker is not listed in Tice or Bazelon, so at this point not much is known. The University of Michigan button does employ a definite Scovill die for the motif, and the back is of the same style as other Scovill backs dating to around 1860.
Most information on this page is from Tice's book, Dating Buttons..., the pictures are generally from buttons that I have handled.
