Description

These are two buttons from St Augustine's College from the Civial War period, They are brass with an eagle and a shield on the front. Inside the shield is the letter "I" on one and "A" on the other. I assume this stands for St, Augustine Institute. They have loops on the back to be sewn onto a uniform.
