any info on this button
I found several of these buttons at an old dump. They are brass, one piece with a loop welded on the back. There is no writing on the back that i can see. Are they military or just regular clothing buttons?

Are they all the same? How many did you find? They look like early 1800s civilian flat buttons.
My wife does all the driving, I just hold the steering wheel.

They are all the same. I found 6. Perhaps they came off of the same garment.

 Probably British made
CRUSADER, would you have a guess on the age of this button. fyrffytr1 thought maybe early 1800's. Do you also think it could be that old. It is hard to tell from the picture but it is not completely flat, it has kind of a rounded shape. Thankyou both for your input.

I am not a button expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once so I think that I am in the ball park when I say 1820s-30s. Maybe a tad earlier.
They are probably from the same garment and a real nice find.

Look about halfway down the page, under "Non-Dug Buttons" :
"Flower Button: 1 piece, probably early 1800's. Shank present but bent, no back mark. 21 mm"

Same era as livery buttons. Almost 100% sure it is Brit.
