In 1965 Waterbury changed their hallmark for the first time in over 100 years. The new Waterbury Cos hallmark is shallower than the older hallmarks. Some reproductions have been made by Waterbury but most of these "later hallmark" buttons are good. Railroads such as Amtrak and Conrail only have the later hallmark. In 1973 Amtrak took over most of the passenger service in the US and many railroads had supplies of buttons that were no longer needed and they made their way into the collectible market.
