The war the shield is raised in the center, it is probably an Indian Wars period Army general service button. Nice find.

It is a US Army enlisted-man's "general service" button, with (as Smokeythecat noted) a very high-raised shield on the eagle's chest, which means it is the 1875-1902 version. More specifically, the backmark saying Waterbury Button Co written in "plain-block" lettering means it is from the last 10 years or so of your button's 1875-1902 range. I'd call it a Spanish-American War era US Army eagle-button.
