I took a look at the facebook page. Most of what you have from the site is early to mid 19th century, including some of the buttons. The few earlier buttons were easily used much later than 1800. My dad had a "button box" and I found 18th century buttons in them!

With your 19th century context for most of your finds, with a hand engraved late 18th century shoe buckle engraved as such, the people who lived there probably had it as a souvenir.

Yeah ...the house was probably built in 1975???
 

Holy SCHMOLY! If that's not a banner find, nothing else is. NEVER seen another example.
 

Holy crap!! Outstanding find that makes your scalp crawl!!! You all know what I'm talking about!! Congrats!!😁😁
 

That is a great looking buckle.

I would contact the Smithsonian in Washington DC and see if they have any information on it. Amazing relic!
