✅ SOLVED Another Button.

Here's another button I can't find anything about. Backmark reads G. Miller & Son with 3 small circles before the G. Front has I.N. Co. in raised letters below an eagle. About 19mm, 2 piece with a silver finish to the front. There is no reference of G.Miller & Son in McGuinn and Bazelon's book.

Hi - I think that could be a British maker. Here are buttons like yours - attributed to International Navigation Company, steamships.

Miller and Son in Southampton were the tailors who supplied the uniforms, but the brass buttons they used were indeed imported from the Waterbury Button Company.

Thanks a lot. I was able to figure out this button dates from 1871-1902. I'll mark this one solved and post another one soon.
