It could be a Police Athletic League button. They have been around for 70 years and started on the east coast. I'm not saying that's what it is, but it might be....at any rate, I like it.

the back mark though post war well pre dates that association and house was torn down at least a decade prior to world war 2, and i think Gminder produced buttons only went through about 1898?

How sure are you that's a "L" at the end? That tail makes it look like it could be another letter.

Still nice!
