"Guesses are welcome"
Ha! well in that case... for starters is it possible this is a stylized "t" rather than a wierd anchor?

Re: Button Needs ID.
I still need would like to date it and maybe find out what it was used for.
Yes it is indeed a T. I thought it was a JL with an o. Thanks. Its listed by Waterbury under "Career Uniform." http://www.waterburybutton.com/cart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=24&idproduct=19628johnnyi said:

Re: Button Needs ID.
It's a stock-letter T, as noted, but has also been attributed by Van Court to the Cincinnati Union Terminal Co., formed in 1927 and opened in 1933. The maker is the Sigmund Eisner Co, of NYC and Red Bank, NJ.

Re: Button Needs ID.
The backmark cited by Van Court is coded Q-2-2-f, which equates to "Superior Quality." There is no reference to the Eisner backmark.
As evidenced by the Waterbury variety that you found, this would seem to be one of those stock designs issued/imitated by a number of manufacturers.

Re: Button Needs ID.
Yes, I guess this is just a stock T design because it appears the Eisner Company was out of business by 1925 if what I found is correct.. SOLVED S. EISNER CO. button 1859-1925. http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/nada..._Boy_Scout_of_America_Set_of_3_Buttons_EisnerPBK said:
