The back is spent Del...been soaking for a few days now. Found it in an old schoolyard, so it may be from a nice jacket for all i know. The sailboats had me thinkin tho. Thanks for the help

lol That really helped didn't it? I have so many buttons that have rusted backs like that, am disappointed not to be able to ID them. I'm curious to hear from the button experts about it (typical time period of buttons that rust like that & is it possible to clean them to recognition). I have a bunch soaking in oil also...
Have you cleaned the front anymore? It seems that more detail will be exposed.
Congrats on the rosie and IH |

surprising rusted back buttons can go back pretty far , they were known as tinback buttons although they weren't very common. the more common steel backed buttons strted apearing in the very late 1890's and were the norm by the very early 1900's . Aaron your button's design i don't recognize and i would suspect it being off a sports blazer or jacket from the 1920's to 50's. sorry i couln't be more help.
