The McGuinn-&-Bazelon book on button backmark dating says the company "Rosenfeld (not RosenfIeld) Bros. Baltimore" was listed from 1865 to 1890 as clothiers, and from 1892 to 1921 as proprietors of the New York Clothing House.

No photo of the button's front is visible in your post. Is it just plain/blank on the front? If not, please show us the button's front. A "sideview" photo would also help, so we can see whether the button is flat or low-domed or high-domed.
