What we have here is a Texas State seal button (cuff size) with a lined field and "TEXAS" surrounding the star. I would assume this button was made by Hyde & Goodrich in New Orleans but unable to make out the back mark due to pitting.
As for the shank it is solid with no wiggle. In all honesty the entire button is solid and still has a bit of gold guilt. The face of the button does have a slight push as can be seen in the pictures. The pictures could be better but it is the best I can do with my camera. I will say that if you get the button and it is not up to your expectations you may return it within 7 days of receiving it now questions asked. I will do my best to answer them. Button will be sent in a box to protect it during transit. All SERIOUS offers will be considered.Would like for the button to go to a good home!
