Description

Small Military uniform button. On the back reads Horstmann Philada. The Great Seal model button was first made standard in 1902, and Horstmann company produced buttons until 1935, when it closed its doors. This type of button would have been used on the uniforms men wore, not on the coats or jackets as the buttons are far too small.
