Brass button help

[frankh8147]

Greetings!

I'm new to this forum so hello everyone! I do a lot of digging for fossils in New Jersey and from time to find, I come across items like these that I can't age or identify so I was wondering if anyone knew if it was an antique or how to date it.

It is from Marlboro, New Jersey and is about 1.25 inches. I had a friend who is in the antique business look at it and he believed it to be brass.

Thanks in advance for your help!
-Frank

I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Frank! Take a look at Sub-Forums: New Jersey for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your state.
