Is there anyway to know the date of these buttons. Has SCOVILL MFG CO WATERBURY on the back?

I found a similar button that is WWI. Yours could be WWI vintage depending on the back mark. You can check on inkspotantiques.com for more info on buttons.

the raised rim that is on yours was added in 1910 so yours is 1910 or later... Also a lined field was added at a certain point and that can be used to date it even closer
