10 buttons - some large, and 1851 Large Cent. Need help with one of the buttons!!

[testing123]

Got out today to a place that's yielded some good stuff in the past. Was slow going at first but managed 10 buttons, an 1851 large cent, and bowl portion of a spoon. Some of the buttons are pretty big! Couple of the tombacs have a nice design.

One button is a bit different from others I've found before. The lettering on the back is raised. Looks to read: Barber & Gunthorpe Newport S and there is additional lettering on the front. I can see what looks like COLD S, but there's more lettering below that I can't make out, unfortunately. Does anyone recognize this button, or can ID what the lettering is?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello Testing,

Excellent find, sir.

Here's Barber & Gunthorpe's listing in the "B", Directory of, London 1794

"Barber & Gunthorpe, Men's Mercers, 26, Little Newport str."

I believe your button is one from the Coldstream Guards.

Nice ID, I was looking at the same angle, Coldstream Guards until I saw your post. You beat me to it.

Excellent find on the Coldstream Guards button. The other finds are very nice too! That is a good spot you're hunting. Good luck on your return visit!

Nice stuff! That's my kind of TH'ing.

that looks like a good spot, should be more coins there.

Wow. Thanks guys! Didn't have any idea where to start searching. Any idea on age based on the reverse lettering?

Now THAT is a great button! Looks very old.
Congrats,

It is a good coldstream guards button, I have a few early type but not that one!

If it started slow, it sure didn't end that way.

A pretty great button. Bonus still having the shank.
