I found this Maine Militia Button at an old home site in mid coast Maine. Does anyone know when it was made? Very little info on this style.
Thanks..

Looks like you Button is a Maine Militia 1 Piece listed in Albert's Button Book as a ME-4-B. Maine did not become a State til 1820. But is listed as Maine Mililia 1 Piece A 12-pointed Star with 17 stars encircling on a lined field. b/m should be Treble Gilt/London.

Thank you for the info. It does say treble gilt London in the back. Was wondering what year this one was made.

It says treble gilt London.

It fits 1820-1840 era, so i would think around that time period
