Your find is definitely a "GAR" (Grand Army of the Republic) button. The GAR was the national organization of yankee veterans of the civil war. GAR buttons date from about 1870 through the first 1/3rd of the 20th-Century. Yours had a brass front with a tin-plated iron back (which is why the back is rusty).
