Can't tell if it's an I or an H ... either ?INSON or ?HNSON, so possibly :

Steele & Johnson ~ 1858-1875 -or-

A variation from the Robinson Co. ~

Obed and Otis Robinson 1812-1826
Richard Robinson & Co. 1826-1828
Robinson, Jones & Co. 1828-1836
R. & W. Robinson 1836-1848

I can't make out the lettering under that nor the lettering on the front (top of button).

Thank you. I think the lettering underneath might say "EST." I'm not sure. And I believe it's I, not H.
