Can some one help me with the age of it 20160723_180345.webp20160723_174002.webp
 

Your first photo the button is too dirty to read what's it says on it, in the second photo it's too blurry/out of focus.

We need to know what it says to help with an ID.

allison,

It's a fairly modern button from a jean shirt or jacket.

I enjoy finding buttons as much as I do coins. Maybe I just have not found the right coins yet. Lol

I see the same only I think it's ....

W. E. C. C. Grace Church St.

I haven't found anything doing a search as of yet, except the only Grace Church St. I've found so far is in Loudon.

Its not a modern button. Its probably at least 100 years old. Nice find Allison. :icon_thumright:

It called an Advertisement button and it was used on underwear, trousers or shoddy mens suits. Silversimon is the only one that has a site on these old 4 holed advertisement buttons but I didnt save it.
