Awesome piece; where was it found? And is there any printing visible on the back? Looks like there is some printing, but it can't be seen in the image.

But I'll start at $60.

Thanks for your bid! The back reads "Amb (last couple of letters are unreadable) Photo Button Co. 134 La Salle St. Chicago, Pin-Lock But. Co. Pat. Pend."

Likely, if they sent the paperwork via USPS!

Additional information: According to Ted Hake's "Collectible Pin-Back price guide" (Page 295) the "Pin-Lock Button Co." in Chicago was only in business one year,1900.
