Anybody know which button this was the back of ?
My wife found that the initials on the back stand for Leavenworth Hayden and scovill.

It looks like a one piece button to me. Please post a picture of the other side. Leavenworth, Hayden and Scovill were in business from 1811-1827and that was before two piece buttons were introduced. Also, I am pretty sure the wording at the top of the button reads "Treble Gilt" which means it would have been gold plated.

The back side is pretty slick . My phone camera is a bit contaminated

From looking around it must have been a civilian button with a smooth front .
Still can't find an example pic of a button with the L,H &S on it . Still happy as I don't find many buttons .

Even if it is civilian, in my opinion that backmark is a good one. I would take it any day.

Especially if found in the Inland South.

Hmmmm, I don't know the History of that area at all.
Willing to bet they are pretty rare there also, correct me if I'm wrong .'Please'.
