Hello,
I have been hunting an old golf course lately and found a button.
I've seen the great seal but Trapper suggested I take better pics and see if someone can ID the button.
Thanks for you help!
HH!

WWI era. The outer rim on it was added in 1910, and the black finish that appears to still be present was discontinued in 1923. So that gives the range.

That's a good looking great seal. I've dug 2 recently from farm fields that are in bad shape.

This one is the best of the 2. Congrats on a nice one!

I found two recently and came across a good lost from another site. I would copy and paste it but don't want to take any credit for the hard work of others. Hope it helps... http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/112828-great-seal-button-backmarks-help-25.html
