It looks like a two-piece button... is there any writting on the back?

 

[BuckleBoy]

Looks like a one-piece button to me--cuff sized decorative flat button... Could we see a closer photo of both sides?

gregg - you are a great sport... now, can you us if the face of the button is a seperate piece from the back of the button? Is there a seam?

... or is it one piece?

 

[YankeeDownSouthAdv.]

try to be a good sport, yes there is a seam on the back side, like one piece is over the other or inside the other, something like that..lol...gregg
