Very nice! New York militia button. Any back mark?

 

[Don in SJ]

It is an Albert's NY 10A variety, age depends on backmark, if Lewis and Tomes 1820's but I will say it is no later than very early 1830's.

What size is your button? Its hard to tell from the photo, but it almost looks like the less common 15mm size, 23mm being the more common size.
