I was wondering if someone could provide a date range for this Tombac button I found recently? Most Tombac's I have found are all made out of Tombac. I have found 1 Tombac that had a brass back, and 1 Tombac with a brass front and tombac back prior to this. I was never able to determine an age or origin of construction for those.
This one has me stumped and it is by far one of the coolest Tombacs I have ever found with the nice flower design on it. It is domed construction, you can see on the back that inside was some iron (maybe from the shank?), and the back must have been made of brass.
Any assistance in providing a date range, style, or any other information about it would be greatly appreciated. Would it have been foreign made?
