This button is my best find of the day!

It turned up at a sports field at a depth of less than 2 inches. Text on the back says "Imperial Orange Gilt".

I would apprecate any info you can offer that might help identify and date it

2 inches, heck you didn't break a sweat!
Good going.

I will look around for some info.

Thanks Jeff... I sure have worked a lot harder for a lot less. I know I have seen pictures of something similar, but Google hasn't shown it to me again. I only have one button reference book, but I think it's too general.
