🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Flat button ID

[Nathan W]

Don’t know if it’s possible to ID this. Found where 1870 church. Ive found union cavalry items and found items as far back as 1850s here.

I tried to take good pics of front and back. I can’t tell which way is right side up either . Any opinions on what it might be on front and back?

Looks like a typical flat button probably 1820s. Might have some writing on the back like best strong, guilt...

Dang. That would be my oldest find

Is the shank in tact? If so, that help you date the button also. I dont have the diagram with the different shanks handy, but I've seen it posted on TNet before.
