✅ SOLVED Reproduction Buttons? ID Help needed

[OpheliaN]

I don't know why but when I hold these I get the sense that they are not as old as they look. They seem to be made out of copper. Back is stamped "D. Evans & Co No Attleboro Mass"

Can anyone help date these for me. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

No offense intended, but I must post a correction -- those US Army "Great Seal Of The United States" buttons which have a "black finish" date strictly from the World War One era to 1923. Before and after that time-period, they had the usual brass/bronze/gold-plated finish.

By the way, the "black finish" is NOT a paint. It is a version of anodizing.

I also have many of these buttons and some kind of clips in the box did they use these clips to attach to the uniform?
