US Army Great Seal General Service button. Pre WW1 to WW2 generally. But the fact that yours says American Button Company (company is spelled out rather than just "CO" I assume?) then we are more looking at 1902-1920 time frame. Nice button!

Yep, great seal button- came into use by US military in 1902

Well not quite the Civil War, (War of Northern Aggression),, but definitely in the First World War Time Frame.
Nice save

actually it does "co" instead of company...

That's even better squash the "Co" makes it definitely 1902-1920 so you gotta pre WWI through WWI button. Nice work.
