Does it have a BACK MARK?

Without looking in the 'button book' - it's two piece, standard army issue beginning in the early 1900's. It's in pretty nice shape. Good depth - which machine?

It looks very similar to two WW I military buttons I found at an old farmstead. Nice find

its a world war two button from a military uniform. Scovill made these buttons for the U.S. military since before the civil war. The civil war buttons have more of a wild eagle on the front without the shield. I found one just like that about 4 months ago.

Look up scovill buttons on the internet and youll find pictures of the fronts and backs and you can figure out exactly when its from and what variety. Since you found it so deep it may be world war 1.
