RARE ca1810 US INFANTRY BUTTON FROM VICKSBURG - ALBERT'S GI-49

I dug this one on February 2, 2003, from an old campsite near Vicksburg. Identified as Albert's GI-49, the button is seldom dug in this area. It probably dates to around 1810, and was probably associated with the War of 1812.

VERY RARE VICKSBURG JUG

I've never come across another like it... "J & A GENELLA/VICKSBURGH." It was in bad shape when I found it many years ago, and I made the regrettable mistake of having the remnants of the spout cut from the remainder of the jug. It's small, 3 5/8" base diameter, and estimated 7" tall if whole. Nevertheless, it's a rarity.
