Here are some Civil War and post-war antique hard rubber buttons. Collectors call these "Goodyear" buttons, but this title is incorrect. Goodyear simply held the patent for a period or time and most examples carry some form of the Goodyear patent back mark. The most common company back marks to find are from: Novelty Rubber Co. (N.R. Co.).
