Great Seal Button Backmark Question

[Tony (NC)]

OK...I know I'm a year late on the Great Seal thread....but I have a LOT of buttons (hundreds of them) to clean and I am doing a couple a day. I have a bunch of GS buttons and have already found a couple more for the list. Give me your opinion on this one. It's pretty far gone, but I think I am seeing "Marshall Field & Co Chic Ill" on this button. I know they are a dept. store and have been in business for a long time. Does anyone else see what I think I do? Sorry, but that's the best I can do on the photo. I'm not too good with MS Paint! Is this another one for the list of Great Seal back marks?

Re: No more calls.....we have a winner!

Thanks for the confirmation. I guess you can add another one to the list

Yes I think you have another rare Great Seal US Army button. WWII? http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1930s-I...d-Co-Ohio-/120610468757?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1930s-I...d-Co-Ohio-/120610468757?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0

This variation doesnt have ILL. I cant find another Army button online other than yours.

Re: Good Deal!

I'm pretty sure these buttons are WWI era based on the site they came from. Hopefully I will get a few more for the list. GREAT JOB on your reserach! I was hitting dead ends with that mark.

OK thanks. The date needs to be researched. Maybe someone will help.
