This is the seal of the state of Indiana so it’s not that. Interesting button!

My hunting buddy found one a few years back and I've been wanting one ever since!!!!! He never could pin down a date tho. Congratz :headbang:
 

I can see that it says "Steele & Johnson." and "Waterbury CT." It's hard to make out. I haven't seen one with Indiana at the bottom though?? Yours does like you said.?? I saw one version online that just has "Waterbury CT." I think "Steele & Johnson" is the key to finding that version button. I found an Indiana state seal button. One and only one. I'll look through my cases. Nice find!

Thank you, yes it is Steele and Johnson, I found a similar one online that says it's possibly miltia, thanks again
