<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 3110994, member: 33"]It has similar symbolism and motto as the state seal of Illinois. I haven't found that exact design, though. For example, this button has what looks like a farm building and silo in the right background. The current state seal of Illlinois, adopted in 1868, has a flaring sunrise. Earlier seals were even less similar. The best I can say is the button has a variant design, based on the seal. Perhaps it was not officially produced for the state. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the current seal, that is posted on the Illinois state website:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]293603[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
