#17&18 Silver for the year a Cracker Jack Token and a button I need help ID'ing

I stopped for a short hunt on the way home from work and had a fun hunt. This site I'm working keeps paying off. I found a couple silver and some other goodies. Has anyone ever seen one of these buttons, it was very deep. Almost everything I'm digging at this site is old so I think this button is old. Help?

Great finds!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Mayo dug a button like that about two weeks ago. I dug one just like it last week with a different backmark. Mine looks like WWI era from the City Button Works in New York. Check your backmark if you can make it out. Cool button!

Not enough detail to be sure but I think it's post 1900, gotta clean that back and check that backmark!

What's neat about those CJ tokens are if you sent one of those in they would stamp it on the back
and you could redeem it for additional goodies :o (I LOVE those)
