found a couple flat buttons today, one with unusual backmark?

[CKaufman]

I found these today and i know they are flat buttons but i was wondering how old they are. the larger one is the size of a quarter, brass, and has a back mark that reads "plated" with stars underneath and a wreath around the edges.

The smaller one reads "treble gilt*stand coulour". Anyone out there ever found one with that backmark?

The "treble gilt" buttons are fairly common with different varieties. I think they are mostly early-mid 1800s. cool finds!!

I havnt been able to find any other buttons with the word color spelled "coulour". Ive seen colour and color but none spelled like this. Any ideas where it may have originated?

Old flats are really neat! Great finds! The last one I found has an eagle with outstreched wings.
