    Button ID Help

    This button measures approx 27mm. It is a two piece and the back mark is Waterbury Button Co. The only info I can find is it was most likely made between 1849-1860. Color is not right on pic. Thanks for any help.

    Jake's probably right on the time period; however, it could be a bit earlier or later. It's the U.S. Army General Service "Great Seal" button, introduced in 1902 and in use ever since.
    Forgotten but not gone.
