Button ID help please.

[Postalrevnant]

I found this button about 2 1/2 months ago. I looked on line and could not get any information about it. My button is still soaking away and with my great camera skills I cannot get a good enough picture to have you all help me ID it.

I noticed that on one of KenPa's recent posts he found the same button. He has a great pic of it so I borrowed his picture to show all of you. Hope you don't mind KenPa. And if you don't mind, thank you.

It's on the bottom row to the far right. Lion in the shield and lion on top.

Thank you for your help,

And yet it's the figurine in the center that might get you arrested...

If I remember correctly it’s a blazer button circa 1950 to present. That’s what I was told when I post this one.

The answer is from PBK.
Re: I have a few buttons too.

This is the answer PBK gave me about our botton (in bold):

"The top one is a classic blazer button... thin, die-stamped brass, with steel/tin back; heraldic crest and Latin or pseudo-Latin motto; probably post-1950.

The middle button with two holes is either a civilian imitation of a U.S. Army "Great Seal" general service button, or an Army button which has been holed for civilian use.

The lower buttons appears to be a late 19th or early 20th century dress button. The large ring on the shank may have been added later."

Lol yep that one was nuts.

Thank you Ant I think you nailed it. A month ago I found this button online at a store where you could buy it. They made many buttons...civil war replica's ..etc. That button did not have a name it only had a number. I sent a few emails to the company requesting information about the buttons origin, but never got a reply.

Thank you ANT.
