"S" button
One piece button, about 1/2", nothing IDable on the front. On the back, the shank is still there, still had thread crammed in it. I thought it was dirt and when I poked it with a toothpick it fell out in a clump. When I tried to pull it open it fell apart to dust. There are letters between the circle and shank. The word "STAND" and then what looks like the letter "D" directly following it, there are more letters around the shank but they are not readable. Outside the circle are what looks like some kind of reeds or branches all the way around until either the top side or bottom side of the button. At that top or bottom side there is a small circle with either an "S" or a "5", I can't tell which. I assume the circled "S" is a manufacturers letter or number mark. Anyone got any ideas? Manufacturer? Time period? Front, cuff, or collar? Value if rare?
