Interesting 2 piece button that I need help with an I.D.

Swung over 2 buttons today. 2 flats and this interesting 2 piece. Is it just a civilian or is it something really special?

There are no back marks.

I wouldn't think it's real old with that much thread left. Good find congrats

Nice button! Civilian or not, it would be special to me if I dug it!

I took a few more pictures that i hope show the detail better. Also thought id show the flat buttons and an extra whatzit i found today.













EDIT: Eureka! After seeing the pictures on the computer, I think i can make out the image on the 2 piece. Its a golfer in the middle holding a club, then a wreath with crossing clubs, and 2 golf balls, one on top and the other on the bottom.

Yes I just noticed it was a golfing theme too! I found this in the September, 1957 National Button Bulletin.

Trapperarts hunch was correct, it isnt as old I first thought.
