    button ID

    I need help with this button. 3/4" diameter flat button. Gilted plain front. It has ring of arrow heads on the back and it looks like it says PLATED, in the rings.
    Thanks

    Re: button ID

    It is not a tombac. It is a plain, gilded brass flat button from the first half of the 19th c.
