Military Button

[Natman]

Hi all,

I found this uniform button yesterday afternoon near an old house..it looks very similar to one I found early this year but the back is different..it appears to say R. LIEBMANN MFG. CO. or something similar.

If anyone knows the history of it please clue me in, and thanks in advance!

U.S. Army "Great Seal" general service button, 1902-present.

Buttons with the same "R. Liebmann Mfg. Co." backmark were used on this World War I uniform:

Congrats Nat. Nice find.
I love finding buttons. Of all the buttons we dig up it seems like you can never find a matching one.


Nice job on the ID PBK.

Huh?? Yeah ole' Nattie-Head's finding some really cool stuff lately..

Thanks for chiming in Moon, good to hear from you! I never thought I'd start a collection of military stuff..besides this find I've also found a WWII button, a U.S. Army conduct medal and a collar disc, all within the year.

Congrats Nat. Nice find.

Thanks Doug..you're right, there's such a wide variety of them it's hard to find 2 of the same exact type (at least it's hard to find them in my neck o' the woods)!

HH all,

Pretty cool find Nat. I like a change of pace find now and then. I know nothing about them...but military buttons are always nice to see in the hole.

Nice find, Nat! I've got a few of those myself. Some are really big and some are small. A couple of mine still have gold gilt on them.
