Help me with info on this button please?

Hi there-I recently purchased this button at an estate sale and I have been unsuccessful finding information about it. I'd love to know the year it is from. If anyone can help or direct me to a website, I would greatly appreciate it!

During WW II, the company changes its name to Waterbury Companies, Inc., to reflect its diversified product lines, so your button predates the end of that war.

That site also states, "2000 - The button business of the Waterbury Companies are purchased by OGS Technologies, Inc., which promptly readopts the name, The Waterbury Button Company."

Kenosha,
Right you are; so button either predates WW II or post dates 1999.
