The pinback button is not dated and the year that it was made is unknown. This numbered pin may have been from a contest of some kind.

The flagship store was started by Foster - Besse & Company in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1877. By 1907 there were 27 stores in the New England states. It is imprinted in dark blue or black on a white background. There is a paper insert in the back. It is marked on the two sides as follows: FOSTER - AVERY CO.
