✅ SOLVED Button ID

[WV_Detecting]

Any help IDing this button, cant remember where or when I found it but I was going through my buttons for "cleaners" after reading buckleboys how to clean button thread...no backmark available, its a rusted clod. Sorry about the image quality, my shaky hand and macro don't mix well. If it helps any eagle clutching an anchor.

Maybe a hat button? From civil war era. Think I read something about iron back buttons from cannonballguy

Usually the iron backs indicate a blazer or coat button and modern. Few if any military ones had an iron back.

Need true size to verify

Seems a little big for military button with iron backside from what cannonballguy said. Most likely civilian button.

Agree with Duggap

Duggap is correct. Civilian blazer with design copied after a Navy button.

I agree, it is too large to be one of the very rare actual US Navy buttons which had an iron back. Also, the first photo shows it has a "black finish," which is not found on actual US Navy buttons. (That being said... World War One US Army buttons had a "black finish" -- but not the US Navy ones.)
