Can't pinpoint the exact variety of your button. But it mirrors a "pewter" example, made in Conn, circa 1808. Yours is obviously a wonderful example, made in brass. They don't get much better than that! Still looking for my first Fugio. Someone may pipe in on the variety of that Conn. AWESOME! Hogge
