    Any idea about this button? What branch if it is Military? Approximate Age? I am finding nothing about this company.

      Photo of the front would be helpful to determine what the button is.

      Back is helpful with dating.

      They were in Philadelphia. "William Lehmberg & Sons Masonic Clothing and Accessories then briefly occupied the building."

      They made stuff for Freemasons.

      Lots of cross- over with makers. While Lehmberg certainly might have limited their scope to Freemasons, that would have been unusual.

      Most makers produced items that ran the full gamut-- many Fraternal organizations (Masons, Odd Fellow, GAR....), Police, Fire and of course military.

      A photo of the front is needed.
