Nice old button????

[dgrs2]

Found this button in a field in northeastern PA. There are no markings. But it is a shank button. I have no clue. Hand made maybe. Need your help.

Ok. I was able to post the pictures. They are in the first post. Anyone know why uploading from a mobile device doesn't work anymore?
