Colonial blow hole

[relic lover]

The title sums up about all I know about this find. Does anyone have a date range for these things? It is brass and dime sized. This came from a site that mostly gives up trash. Every now and then something very old pops up to keep my hopes alive. I found a dandy button there last year the coins are there somewhere!

I have dug some with a single hole off sites that date about 1730-1755, and don't recall ever finding one at a late 1700s site. Whether one hole vs two fits into the time frame at all I have no idea, and I consider them as mid. 1700s but have never really thought about it. I have the Tice dating buttons book and will take a look at some point but I suspect there will probably be a fairly lengthy range.

PS: I think about the 1790s is the latest blowhole buttons date.
