It was said on another forum it's from the 1800's . Just looking to confirm that and get any info I can on it. Been looking but have not found that design yet.

Hi; It is from 1820 or older. The pattern is a typical Floral pattern style. I believe it is more for ornate purposes than military in nature this I would say 1790 - 1820. It is a one piece button as noted by the single shank on the back. 2 piece buttons came to be around 1820 rendering the one piece button obsolete. After 1820 it becomes a bit harder to date ok. Value : $1.00. Happy Hunting. PEACE:RONB

Thank you very much !!! I'm very happy to find out its that old. I don't have any care on the value of items I find. I'm just amazed to find real old items and hold them in my hand.

Seeing there is no other replys,I take it has been correctly called on this button so far. I'm going to repost the pics next to a coin for size reference in case it matters. It is a large button. I have been doing some research and am starting to wonder if it was decorative on horse tack

It's the same diameter as a quarter if that matters.
