Long time no post! Real CW Button?

[Stormtrooper154]

Hey guys. It has been over a year since I have used my machine. Today I went to a 1930's farmhouse rented by a friend. She wanted me to show her the hobby. I found two of these and a smaller one without the I (Infantry) in the shield. From the county records, the home that is currently on the property was built in 1930. I have no idea if a home sat there before but it is very possible judging by the oaks around the property. I am in Oregon, so if these are real, that's a really good find for this area. If not, then it was still a rush pulling them. What do you button guys think?

Heres one I dug made by same company but entirely different script on the back.. I couldnt find one with three stars on relicman.com's archive, but yours still looks genuine to me.. Dip an old toothbrush in half lemon juice, half water and brush it over the surface a few times
