Found this button in the neighbors yard today. Can't find a match using google. Maybe a button expert can shed some light on it's origin.

I looked at the Waterbury website but didn't find your button. Here's a link, maybe you can find it. Good luck.

I can't find a picture of their logo but I suspect it's these guys.

In business 1835 - 1963. Your button is late 19th to early 20th C. Maybe as late as WWII but I think a little earlier.

It might be a C of G button, while looking I found this image of a very similar style CG button.

That one is mid 20th C.

After looking a bit more I still can't match the logo. But the intertwined letters were very popular in the late 19th C.
