Found this button at a yard sale in protective wrapping.

I found this button along with a few other military badges (one a confirmed genuine pre world war 2 Balloon pilot badge )

 

I do not know if it is US Military as it says “eingetr muster” on the back which I think is german for patent or trademark. 

 

It was protected in bubble wrap and plastic and I’m not sure why.  I’d appreciate any help identifying this

It is not US military

Thanks for that.  Any idea what it might be ?

No idea, but it seems the firm made some cool buttons over the years according to Google images

 

Someone is selling one like yours on Etsy... https://www.etsy.com/listing/1105009066/ancient-mariner-albatross-bird?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=eingetr+muster&ref=sr_gallery-1-5

Thanks for finding that. I tried using google images and I couldn’t come up with anything. How did you find it?

 

It’s definitely the same motif, though mine is about the size of a dime and different material, while this one looks almost twice as big as a penny - But it definitely puts me on the right path. Thanks again

Thanks. I also have this one but I’m guessing it also isn’t military

I searched the back mark and "button". That was it. Popped up like number 4 on the list
