Button ID??

[lydia26]

My brother found this button out in our backyard.
The back says, "Scovill MF'G Waterbury"
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. SO far I've found that it might date back from 1850-1865.
Thanks!

Standard U.S. Army issue. Not that old. PBK can tell you more.

Not too much more to tell. U.S. Army "Great Seal" general service button, introduced in 1902 and still in use today.

The Scovill Mfg. Co. was based in Waterbury, CT from 1802 until 1956. The company is now headquartered in Clarkesville, GA.
