Any ideas on this button as to what is is or the beat way to clean it to see if I can get anything off the back of it? Thanks

Hi; I think it is a blow hole Acorn button. 1700's. I could be wrong ok. If you clean it only use light soap and water letting it soak for a few days then use a wooden tooth pick and gently PUSH the dirt off. Do NOT scratch at it ok. This may take a few soakings but you will be happy with the results ok. PEACE:RONB

Hmmmm I would think if it were that old wouldnt it have a shank on it and not notched out like it is? i though all old buttons had shanks but I know nothing about buttons so I may be wrong. Thanks for the info though will be exciting to find out if it really does have some age to it

Look's like a brass dome coat button. I find em every now and then. Doesn't look that old. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/my-best-finds/216095-blowhole-buttons-only.html
