<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1101031, member: 22729&quot;]Yeah rascal it&#039;s a button like the other guys say. The stamp is called a buttonback or button backstamp. Manufacturers generally identified their products with their company names or phrases similiar to this. The center isn&#039;t gold, it&#039;s the remnants of a brass loop used to fasten the button to an article of clothing. Some of these are known counterstamped on coins and many are documented as to the manufacturer. I don&#039;t know who made this one, but it may be Scovill who was a huge button maker for both civilian and military applications.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
