2 piece Waterbury button

[Garabaldi3]

Just found these 2 piece buttons today. Not sure if there military. Made by the Waterbury company out of Connecticut. Looks like there’s a V I on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your help. I’m thinking yacht club as well.

What part of the world did you find them in? There is a Houston Yacht club, Hampton yacht club, Hyannis yacht club, etc. etc. And, could you post a clear picture of the back?

The following information may or may not be helpful in your quest to correctly identify your Boston-dug HYC button. It's backmark saying "WATERBURY BUTTON CO ***" was only used from 1890 to 1942, the year when the company changed its name to Waterbury Companies (plural). The backmark was changed to "WATERBURY CO'S CONN".
