World War 1 or 2 cuff button find!

[pganjon]

Hello, Today's lunchtime hunt produced this small U.S World War 1 or 2 cuff button It was about five inches down and rang on my Ace 250 as a quarter lock but came in wide and weak while pinpointing. The ground was dry and was coming up in hard clumps and after I pulled the last clump out, I saw the face of the button in the bottom of the hole. The back looks to read A M Button Co Newark, NJ. If anyone could narrow this down, I would appreciate it very much Thanks for reading Paul

BigCypressHunter has a great thread on Great Seal backmarks in the "What is it" forum. Yours dates from 1902-1917. Here's a link to the thread.
