Catalog of button backmarks
Palanzuelos...
This was a Cuban firm, Scovill supplied buttons to this firm in the 1850's. Apparently there were a number of backs left over from the production run, which Scovill later used on northern state buttons, where inspection was lax.
Most information on this page is from Tice's book, Dating Buttons..., the pictures are generally from buttons that I have handled.
