Hi DieHardDigger
I think you have a Navy button. As the anchor ring is not clear I can't tell if you have a NA 113 or 114. If the rope goes through the ring then I think it is NA 113 if not then 114. These were in use from 1850s till 1941. There were many varities but most list back stamps. If you have access to the book: Record of American Uniform and historcal Buttons, by alphaeus H. albert, check out the pictures on page 102 and read the descriptions on page 103.
I love finding buttons, good find.:-)
