Eagle button date needed

[B|lker]

I found this in a park that i`ve never detected before and i know it was made by
The Austin Co. / Providence RI.

Any info on the manufacturer or battle Era would much appreciated.

Thanks for looking and your 2 cents.

These style buttons were first used in 1902 and are still used today.

I'll see what I can find from the back mark...

It's actually a "great seal" button... these replaced the "eagle" buttons.

Thanks Crusader, i was also thinking WWII

Montana Jim i`ve looked on line with only one company located in Ohio with that name. They are quite an old 1876 company and could have made it knowing they still have government contracts.
Thanks in advance if you do find anything about it.
