I just found one of these two days ago, but mine is cuff-size. The back reads HORSTMANN PHILADELPHIA and Google had some examples. There's one on Ebay that the seller dated 1893-1935, WW1 era button. I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't older, but I love knowing that my machine pulled a hot signal from it at a decent depth Nice button though!
