According to the best book on button backmark dating, "American Military Button Makers And Dealers; Their Backmarks & Dates" by McGuinn & Bazelon, the specific version of Scovill backmark on your button dates it to being from 1870-to-1890, so it is definitely NOT a "modern blazer button.

I believe it is what the button manufacturing industry calls a "Career Uniform" button. The intertwined initials M H probably represent something like "Manchester Hotel". You might find a match for it in the Career Uniform Buttons, Initials/Letters section at the Waterbury Button Company website.
Career Uniform - Waterbury Button

I disagree. Not only can you tell by the backmark and the serifs but also by the style of the letters entangled/intertwined

I found an MH entangled under career uniform but its not the same 12594 - Waterbury Button

And I agree with CBG. Its probably a career uniform hotel button. http://www.waterburybutton.com/cart...word=mh&submit.x=20&submit.y=18&submit=Submit

I think this is a match -- this is from the Just Buttons Magazine (Jan 1961). Article is "New England Hunt Club Buttons" (Ann Wilson).

Middlebury Hunt "near Waterbury, Connecticut"

This girl Bramblefind has sources for solving these artifacts that nobody else seems to have access to. Your research continues to amaze us. Great ID.

Im thinking to myself, a hunt club in Waterbury that doesnt use the Waterbury Button CompanY? So I looked again and sure enough it was there all the time, I just didnt have the key word "hunt" in my search. I did search "MH" and it didnt show. 16496 - Waterbury Button
