Found this in a middle school. At first I thought it was a common jacket button but on closer inspection the detail was just too good for a cheap mass produced button. It has a rope like outer edge then a set of olive branches. A crown above an eagle with spread wings facing right with an anchor on the bottom. The eagle also has on oval with a cross on it. You can see it here on the front but on the back there are lines in the area of the oval. I only have the front half of a two piece button so no maker or marking to help id it. I did nick it slightly and it is made of brass. Any guesses anyone?

That looked exactly like the button I found, of course mine does not have little rings soldered on it. So now I know it's vintage which does not tell me much. I have faith it will be identified.
