Hello!

I just wanted to post a photo of an old button that I picked up and see if anyone could attach a date to the button.

To give context of where it was found. It was found on the ground in the "then" Washington Territory, across from the old Fort Dalles in Oregon

I think your button is a naval reserve button. That backmark can be a bit difficult to put an exact date range on it. In Tice's book there are several like yours, but the one I like the best would be post civil war to 20th century. The naval reserve was founded in 1915. Hopefully someone else would be able to give a better date range.
