Re: Tombac Dandy button?

Not a Dandy button. Needs to be larger and more decorative or flashy. Rust is from the shank. May be a Tombac but the back isn't shaped like most I have.

Looks like a tomback but like Bioprofessor said the back is a bit different. Also like he said the rust is from the shank.

So, we agree that ist a tombac? I wondered if it may be piece from a horse?

Nope. Doesn't look like a piece of a horse.

It's a button.
