Got this a couple of weeks ago and I finally got around to cleaning it up(as best could). I am assuming some sort of musicians button but I have no idea of the age.
Photos are of the front, back and one to show thickness.

It is indeed a musician's button. That design has been used for well over 150 years! Others can correct me if I am wrong but I think the rusty back indicates it is a more modern version. HH, Dave.

Nice find. I'm inclined to say CW but the back has me leaning towards a more modern type

Wow , with all the different types of service branch buttons out there what are the chances of finding one of those , regardless of age ?
Great going Al !!
Nice button, Al. I wouldn't have been one to recognize the design on it.
Where did you find it? Could it be off of a school marching band uniform?
(Just a guess)
