Hey everyone!! I've been md'ing for a few months now and found my first pair of "old" buttons. These were found in the yard of a farm that has been around since the late 1700's. I was really excited to find them, haha!! The one brown button has no marks or anyting on it, just plain brown. The other button however is a little more enticing. It's appears to be silver, possibly, and has a really beautiful/intricate flower etched into it. It can't be seen it the pic. It's needs a magnifying glass due to it being quite worn/faded. Looks to be a rose or carnation. I'll try and figure out a way to get a close pic of the etching.
My question is this...How old could these buttons possibly be? Just and approxiate time frame would be nice. Thank you all in advance...
