Its a one piece button with a cast shank. Its made the old style but my guess is modern. But I could be wrong. Is it pot metal?

Im sorry its called a "drilled shank" It was cast all in one piece. If you google "drilled shank button" or "drilled shank" button, you will see other examples. But I think yours is modern that was made to look old. I dont know what the letters mean.

How can you tell its from the 50s? Im just asking because I dont know.

Could it be 2 pieces?

It sure looks like front and back are separate pieces - even different metals maybe?

I'm also pretty sure the OP has the pic upside down as the fleur de lis is more apparent the other way and of course the lettering will then read 'SI'.



I also feel it is quite modern - but that's just a guess.

I was thinking it was I.S., from the IHS, roughly meaning Jesus Savior on Christian stuff... But That was just a guess, and I can't find the pairing of the two things on a button, so...
