When was this used?


This one-piece button is about 1/16th inch larger than an inch in diameter. You can see why I thought it was a large cent when it came out of the hole. Shank is missing. You can see that the shank comes out of a raised center and the button back is bowl-shaped. From our button experts out there, please "weigh-in" on an approximate age.

Looks like a big coat button. WWI era maybe?
