[lonelyduckhunter]

Don't have a clue to what type of button this is the back is corroded can't get anything off it and the front speaks for itself. Any help would be appreciated. Time frame and what type. Thanks in advance

Back

I am thinking Eagle Scout. Looks like the Boy Scout symbol with an eagle on it.

not millitary, but I might go with a boy scout...?

Could the lettering read "Be Prepared" in the banner across the bottom? That's the Scout motto.

Definitely Boy Scout, and Definitely it says "Be Prepared.' Scouts was started in the early 1900's. Your button is PROBABLY off of the jacket. Think bright red pea coat.

Yeppers, it's a Boy Scout button. The one I found was more like a badge than a button with the Fleur-de-lis, and no eagle. Neat find, Breezie
