I found this button today at a site that has produced many buttons from tombacs, 1 piece flat buttons w/no back marks, 1 piece buttons with back marks, and also two piece buttons. I have found American, Canadian, and English military buttons here from the early 1800's up until the late 1800's
Can anyone tell me more about this button? It looks like a cast 1 piece flat disk button with a drilled eye shank which can date from the 18th century to the mid 19th century.
The crown sort of looks like a Spanish crown, and the pile of cannon balls I've only seen on Spanish artillery buttons, but all of the ones that come up on google search have the crossed cannons over the stack of cannon balls.
I'm hoping someone here will be able to give a positive ID and a proper name and date range.
If I had to guess this is late 1700's early 1800's.
