I am going to take a wild guess and say either modern civilian or diplomatic button.

sadly it has a mid-1900s shank

Sorry dean the others are correct. At first it looks special but the self shank back was patented in 1934. It resembles the Great Seal and I decided to search Waterburys many pages of eagles to find something similar. I got lucky. Heres a picture from Waterburys old stock and is listed as a fashion button. http://www.waterburybutton.com/cart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=23361

Still a sweet button!

Yea sorry. Its a very cool old button. Has some great patina. It may even fall under the category of political.

I have a question for the button experts. Could it be possible that the self-shank is older than the patent?
