If it says "Horstmann Bros & Co. Phil" it is not CW.


Still a good find though.

That I don't know. Being post-war it is worth much less than a SC button with a wartime backmark. Perhaps someone with a better idea of values can tell you.

Plus, the more we learn about the types of things we're finding, the more likely we'll Realize it when we do hit it Big. :)
