Over lunch break i found a
"Canada immigration" uniform button. I thought it was way older when i first pulled it out of the ground and put it away until i was done. Not sure of a exact age but its made by W. Scully from Montreal. I seen some gilt still on it so i knew i had a good chance of it shinning up with some lemon juice and toothbrush. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]

Nice button K1DDO. My guess is that button is in the 1930s-1950's range. Being on the border I have dug a jar of Canada Immigration/Canada Customs buttons. Always a sweet find congrats!

I agree that its a 20th C Crown type, not checked enough to be sure which King but that seems about right.
