Button Help. Fancy coat button or meaningful letters SOLVED Hampton Normal Institute

Any ideas? Waterbury Scovill Mfg Co. I've seen a bunch of their railroad and ship buttons with letters like this, but can't seem to find a match. Or is it just a fancy blazer button?

Thanks for looking.

Very cool, Thanks for the help. I don't have Albert's button book :)

Funny thing is, I was wondering if that were an N or an H but didn't think about both. :headbang:
