Great Seal button in use since 1902. BigCypressHunter has a thread dedicated to this button and all the backmarks associated with it. You can check it out here:

As fyrffytr said its a post 1902 General Service US Army button.

It looks like an older "ring of dots" 2 stars backmark but with the big O in CO. The button is WWI for sure.

Scovill used up old button backs and/or dies. Whatever was in stock was used in time of war.

I need to upgrade my list.
