Help date this button

I found this Ridabock and Co. New York general service button. Is anyone able to date it?

It has the look of a late 1800s button but I don't have the Alberts book so I can't be sure. The back mark will allow someone to ID it properly for you. Nice find.

Many CW guys on here who can give you a more definite answer, but the backmark puts it at 1883 or later, and the style puts it at 1902 or earlier, I believe. They might correct me on this, though. Not my forte.

They were in business 1883 to 1975.

That button is considered an Indian wars button. Post civil war but before 1904.
