    Help with a couple Eagle buttons

    I found these at two different sites today. Both in Maryland near Deep Creek. You wouldn't know it from my crappy photography skills, but both buttons are 22 mm. On the one that is not damaged, I think I can make out this one the backmark:

    ---> CITY BUTTON

    That arrow is actually part of the backmark, though it isn't clear, so it could be some other device. So, when are they from?



    Thanks,
    Kevo

    If it says CITY BUTTON WORKS . NEW YORK . or
    CITY BUTTON WORKS N.Y. its 1902-1923 WWI button.

    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.
