If it says "Watterbury Button Co." then it is post-war, if I recall correctly. And if I'm not mistaken, that backmark is 1890s.
Cool find!

Are you sure? With the big letters? In Tice isn't it identified as 1890s?
I thought CW for that backmark was either with the word "Extra," with the medium sized letters, or with "Waterbury Conn" after it.
