First Navy Button...clearer pics

[Michellets]

Found this buried under a berm from a dozer. It still has a lot of gilt left on it which makes me believe it is new...anyone want to tell me an age . The back reads Scoville MFG Co. Waterbury.

Re: First Navy Button...

Need more exact clarification of the back mark, It's hard to Tell in the picture.  Very Nice Button.
