Zooming in on the pics it's a little too blurry on the backside....Nice find though!!!

Has all the signs of being from the “golden age” of gilt buttons. 1830’s-40’s.
added: if someone has time to look it up it’s likely a Leavenworth backmark from what I can see.

It does say Leavenworth! You're a button guru thank you

If the backmark reads Leavenworth & co. it dates from 1839-49. My guess is it would date much closer to the 1839 period due to the fact that it is a 1 piece button. Is there more to the backmark than Leavenworth & co.?

Oh heck no, I’ve just been hanging around here a long time and little bits finally sank in from the smart folks here.
