Two-piece (hollow) brass body, with a RMDC (Raised-Mark-in-Depressed-Channel) backmark means 1830s to 1870s ...but most likely on the early side of that range. The backmark's words "Superior" and "Extra Rich" refer to the strength of the button's construction, and the quality level of the gold gilting on it. The horse-in-motion emblem is among the class which button-collectors call Sportsmen's buttons.

The LC was 1847, so maybe around that time frame or not far off?
