Button ID Please

[DES OK]

Haven't had a very good weekend detecting, so I just started going thru my treasure collection and found this button...
I don't even remember where I got it,(probably a grab bag from a collector show or something), but it's obviously not a dug up find...
Anyway the backmark is Smith & Wright Ltd. , B' Ham... And the obverse is an anchor with a serpent wrapped around it, and possibly a crown on top... The only word I can make out is artillery... Thanks

Good job! Yeap... I agree, I did notice on your button though that the left "bomb" looks like it is inverse, or... um, embossed? Weird. Anyway I think you have it!
