    Do you have clearer pics phatdaddy? I know a little about old buttons because sometimes the buttonback stamps were applied to coins and put back into circulation as advertising pieces. Since I collect and research counterstamps I've run into a number of stamps that can be traced back to button manufacturers. Scovill of Connecticut was a huge manufacturer of military as well as civilian buttons so this may be one of his.
