Found this button in an old field - unfortunately it doesn't have a back to it. About the size of a quarter...in think a civilian Button but wanted to see what others thought...what do you guys think? Thank you!
First off, I think your button is likely to be military, but which country, I'm not sure. That design is usually associated with naval reserve but was also used on the earliest of US Navy buttons. Chief Petty Officers used similar buttons until 1840. (Information obtained from Albert's and Tice's button books.). The British Navy used those buttons big time as well.
Thanks everyone! I wish I found the back of that button...I've heard others say on various anchor buttons that they were civilian buttons...still a cool button. Thanks everyone!
