B4773     North Carolina state seal button (22mm) 

Backmark: Blank local back depressed channel with star, made by W Wildt, Columbia SC. Shank is drilled sheet metal, a change in manufacturing implemented late in the war.

This is a fantastic example of the problems the Confederacy had trying to manufacture "local" goods after supplies from the north were cut off.
