Unknown Eagle Button with Unknown Backmark

[danyelle0423]

Can anyone help me identify this button? I haven't been able to find any information about it anywhere. I've seen some with a similar eagle but the backmark is the thing stumping me. The backmark is United States MFG Co. It also has a ring of dots below the name. I believe it's from the Indian Wars but that's about all I know. Metal is unknown and i haven't measured it. Can anyone help me identify and possibly value this? Thank you so much.

United States Button Company produced between 1865-75 and was later purchased by the Waterbury Co.
I find no BMs with 'Mfg' listed in Tice.
I have several button BMs which are not listed by him, for example '***United States*** .
hope someone else can enlighten you

Thank you. You helped me with the name. That was the thing that couldn't figure out the most.

You are correct about it being post civil war. You can tell by the position of the wings and the raised shield.
