Eagle button !!!

[gregl01]

Hey all, UPS man delivered me a new coil today so I had to get right out and try it. My Whites M6 was dialed in and the new Excelerator EQ2 6" coil from Kellyco was impressive, I found 2 dimes and this really nice eagle button backmarked " Waterbury Button co." I don't know if its really that old or not, but its my first!!!! Thanks for looking......

It's a U.S. Navy button. The basic design has been around since the 1840's. This version, with the eagle looking to your left, was standardized in 1941. Prior to that time, on many varieties the eagle was facing in the opposite direction.

a few so I can instantly tell the Difference .LOL
