[jimbonito58]

couple hour hunt yesterday ... pulled a crotal bell and this button I can not find anything on the net at all that lets me date it, looks like some sort of hunting button .. two horsemen in top hats ... like an old fox hunt , backtrack I believe tone Draper & Ownes N.Y. I come up with Nothing at all .. hope some out can help .. I figured it would be easily identifiable with the back mark ... thanks Jim

I found nothing for that backmark.


Just based on the style and the image I would say circa 1900 fox hunting jacket button.

I agree, we would categorize it as a 'Hunts Button'. Could be a little earlier than 1900.

Nice button! There was a "Draper & Owen" listed in the NYC directories c. about 1870-1876. Listed as merchants in "trimmings" in 1875. Here is the 1876 listing:

Attached is an ad for a "Shirt Cutter Wanted" from the New York Herald 1/25/1870.

Also came across an obituary from 1921 for William Henry Owen which indicates he was with the "dry goods house" of "Brown Draper & Owen" in Manhattan - I think he is the same Owen stamped on your button.
