DD937 Posted January 19 #1 Posted January 19 At a smidge over 1" this is a little larger than a standard officers coat button plus the odd back.
Father V Posted January 19 #2 Posted January 19 McGuinn & Bazelon (2006) pg 39 says these are all post 1900, and this specific backmark is already known for Navy buttons. That resource doesn’t generally address diameters.
DD937 Posted January 19 Author #3 Posted January 19 F.V. thank you for the info, I've never seen a back like this.
JohnK83882 Posted February 10 #4 Posted February 10 Self shanked buttons with makers marks are unusual. Here's a picture of the two I've ever seen.
