Great finds :thumbsup: What does the back of the badge look like?
 

nice finds congrats HH
 

The military insignia looks like a WWI US Army collar disc for the infantry branch.
 

Its threaded and has a couple prongs that would grip whatever its put on

Here's a close up of the button. Anyone know what it came off of or is it just an ordinary button? It has a globe in the middle with north and south america on it

It looks a lot like a Columbian Expositon button from 1893. The compass rose is different, but most likely item from one of the expositions of that era.
