old navy button?

[JIMMY555]

Could someone id this button for me please. How old and maybe some history about it. I think it is old because it was so deep in the ground. Thanks

My best guess would be British Navy. I found this in a 1905 Cunard Daily bulletin:
J.J. Rayner & Sons, Merchant Tailors, Naval Outfitters & Contractors, Liverpool

Looks like the 1891 but my button does not have any horizontal lines in it.

Look at the last button in the 1891 row. RN Petty Officer. It doesn't have any lines.
