Old button, the back is rusted and gone. The swirly design looks early 1900's though. Not sure.

Canadian Military General Service Button. The loop is gone. Made by JR Gaunt & Sons, London. Est 1750. Made Military, uniform & British Railroad buttons from 1870-1973.
The motto reads "Honi soit qui mal y pense" It's a French phrase meaning: "Shamed be he who thinks evil of it". It is also the motto of the English "Order of the Garter".
The age of the button is iffy, apparently it has to do with the crown. Each King/Queen has a different looking crown and I cannot see it clearly enough to tell. I'm thinking though it's at least WWII or older.

The button on the right shows what it looks like when in perfect condition.

Anyway, that's Friday's hunt! GL & HH ALL!!
