Trying to date this Eagle, any ideas?

I found this awesome military eagle button the other day and am trying to figure out how old it is. I was thinking perhaps WW2 era. Anyone out there have any ideas on the age? Thanks!

That's a stock Army general service button. They were made from 1902 until the present.

It probably says "SCOVILL MANUFACTURING CO" on the back. If it doesn't it's probably made between 1960 and the present.

You can probably narrow down the date a bit by studying here:

Thanks Clay! You were right, I cleaned off the back and it says SCOVILL MANUFACTURING CO. I appreciate it!
