Button I.D.

[Button Lover]

Found this button the other day and I've searched everywhere to identify it. Looks like the letters on the back are MWAC or WMAC depending on how you read it. I thought it was brass, as it is pretty heavy, but once I cleaned it, it almost looks like it's silver?

Hope the pictures provide enough information?

Thanks in advance for your i.d. help

OK here is your link. http://hatpinscollection.blogspot.com/2008/07/metal-sculptural-pressed-faces-some-two.html Scroll down to the 2nd from bottom. It looks like a match but Lady Liberty is facing the wrong way. I dont have time to search the patent.

Big Cypress Hunter: I just copied the info that was on the link. Yes, this button faces the opposite way, but it's the closest match I could find. I've not been able to find any Hitler, Mussolini link. I've goggled and searched MWAC, WMAC, WMAG and MWAG. Those initials stand for a lot of different Organizations, but nothing on buttons?

I did find a site for Midwest Archeological Center (MWAC), hoping this one will turn out, but haven't found anything yet? Looks like they do research but don't have a button they use?

I realized that when I finally found your link. Can you could post a larger pic of the backside?

Hi, still trying to identify the back mark, can anyone help?

Hi - google "White Metal Casters Association" (WMCA) and you will find other pieces with this mark and some info about it.

Marked WMCA, which stands for White Metal Casters Association. This New York company began making jewelry about 1931
