Need help with ID of Eagle Button

[gpgodwin]

I found a General Services Union Eagle button with no backmarks and a square shank. The button is @19mm in diameter and I haven’t found any comparable matches on line. I need help determining the age or time frame it was made. Thank you!

Not sure the age / origin but I'll buy it for 1,000 bucks based on this photo. Let me know what you think of my offer.

Sorry to have to disappoint some people's hopes... but glad to save them from wasting their money. Your button's self-shank back with a square/rectangular shank means it is from no earlier than the mid-20th-Century. So your "eagle button" is either a reproduction made for use by civil war battle re-enactors, or a Fashion button. If its front is flat it's Fashion, if domed it is a civil war repro.

My interest is no longer as strong but my offer to purchase still stands: will you part ways with it for a dollar?
