Dug Cuff Rhode Island button. Nice pretty dug cuff Rhode Island cuff button. No pushes on the face whatsoever, and no rim cracks or damage. Straight perfect shank. I can not see any evidence of a backmark. It was most likely just plain which many were. Has Super bright Gold remaing that really makes it stand out. At least 90% plus more. This button is very strong and pretty. Caution: You may need Sun Glases to look at this button to avoid "Retina" eye damage. Just Kidding. But it is Nice!!
