How Old is this Button?

[Joe G from Md]

Found this button under floor in old house in Berkley Springs, W.Va. Was replacing floors. How old do you think it is. Looks like impressed letters on front show thru. Thanks.

I can't find that button in either Albert's or Tice's book. Maybe Mr. Troiani could verify its authenticity.
