✅ SOLVED Another Button

It seems to be a black two piece button. The back is really bad. I'm thinking it's pretty modern. Any thoughts?

It has an iron/steel back that is also a "rectangle-shank" self-shank back. (The photo below shows the rectangular self-shank in non-excavated condition.) That makes it a civilian-usage button, and from the second half of the 20th Century.

Thanks for the info. I need to start writing this stuff down.
