I posted my finds pics from yesterday and in one pic there is a button next to the 3 bullet tips, I just cleaned it and would like to know about what time period it is from as it would help me with a puzzle about the location.....HH....Bonz IMG_3935.JPG IMG_3936.JPG

Not an exact match in my reference, but very close to a backmark from 1870-1890's. Experts?
