Need Help with Button ID - Church Lot Again

[Getty]

I went back to the church site again today.Still diggin junk.Dug 2 pennies from 70s.Got a bouncy signal but dug it anyway.About 5-6 in. down I pulled this button out.At first I thought it was a bowl shaped button.I gently rubbed and could see the outline of an eagle on it.Went to rub some of the dirt off the back and the loop easily fell off.I think the backmark says Horstman. They began building this town about 1820s.It was incorperated in 1892.The house next to the lot was built in 1874.

Thanx for lookin,jimmy

Did Horstmann make buttons after 1935?

I think your's in 1920s ish - give or take 10 years.

I dont know jim, but that seems fitting because the compact I found the other day Im guessing from what I could tell was around 1930s.These 2 items and the buckle were all from the same spot on this lot with ALOT of zinc jar lids.I think it may have been a dump site.I am working off a map from 1879 and think there was a house at this spot.Thanx for the info jim
