Anybody have a date on this button. Backmark looks to say Newark NJ with possible numbers after it. Cool piece of history.

NICE BUTTON.

Looks relatively modern to me, likely from the 1940's or 50's.

Nice find!

Thanks. I just found out its from early 1900s 1904-1913.

Well, that's right in line with what I was about to say, being that it appears to be an American Button Co. backmark, a company which only existed as such from 1901-1920, then bought up by Waterbury.
