British 29th ?

[cannonball]

Yesterdays new site yielded a few tombac and dandy buttons as well as a George 11. The lead peice with a 29 3/4 is new to me. I thought it may be a bale seal but not sure yet. The style of the numbers resemble British uniform buttons. Would any of you guy recognize it?

Interesting item. But I believe it indicates the weight rather than a regiment. British 29th regiment buttons were made of pewter and had a different design. Probably a seal.

Not a button - might be a weight or cloth seal

I'd say cloth seal with width or length of material noted. JMO.

Cloth Seals

I thank you guys for the for the I.D. As I looked it up I noticed another one on google. It was sitting on my night stand.I dug it about ten years ago on a Rev. War camp and didn't ID it. It came up on treasurenet. It's French about 1780's. Thank you DownNDirty!!
