My first thought was that it is a button for a uniform used by a marching band. What's on the back of the object?

Cant tell much from the picture, but has a brass stem with another flat section. Looks like it may be a cufflink now that I think about it.

I think its International Harvester Company

Gypsy, how do you know when I'm typing!

Yep... it's an International Harvester Company lapel button. This particular style of the IHC monogram was registered in 1920 and remained in use until around 1945-50, when it was replaced by a block letter "IH" design.

Cool, now I have an excuse to go out and buy me that scout I wanted. Think this line will work??

"But honey, darlin, sugerplum I have this cool old button that stands for International Harvester and since they made the scout, it must be a sign from the all mighty above to go ahead and get that 67 scout"

Thanks guys I don't know why i didn't think of International.
