I found some info on the D. Evans Co
"
THE ROBINSON COMPANIES

OBED AND OTIS ROBINSON 1812-1826
RICHARD ROBINSON & CO. 1826-1828
ROBINSON, JONES & CO1828-1836
R. & W. ROBINSON1836-1848
D. EVANS & CO.1848-1945
I guess they were in business from 1848 until 1945, but the question is when did they make this button?

It appears to match a back mark used from 1850 through 1865. (or 1850-1860's anyway)

Glad to help. I just googled; Boston police button Evans 1850 and there were a few items listed (two on WorthPoint which the image wasn't there though).
