Material: Gilt brass with blue enamel detail
Size: 15 mm diameter
Description: King’s Crown between blue enamel CANADA and CUSTOMS scrolls on a pebbled gilt field.
Reverse: Fixed brass shank with W. Scully Ltd., Montreal backmark.
Circa: 1920-1952
Notes:
Small Canada Customs button for officers or inspectors of the customs service during the mid-20th century. The King’s Crown confirms pre-1953 issue and fits the wider Commonwealth governmental uniform style of the period.
This 15 mm example is a smaller companion size rather than a full tunic-front button, and its Scully Montreal backmark places it within a well-known Canadian tradition of official uniform manufacture.
