I found what I think is a flat button. If it is, it is my first. I am very open to opinions and information from T-Net.

On the back it has
WATERBURY CO'S.
WATERBURY CONN.

Thank you

Oy, I'm sorry to say it's not a flat button. It's a two piece. I'm not checking my references when I say this but I believe "Waterbury Co's" came in the 1830's and beyond.

Still, a great find with lots of gilt!

Congrats!!!
 

cool find ! looks like its been in the closet for 200 hundred years,you sure you dug it? just kidding looks great.
 

That button is in great shape... lots of nice detail on it!

I know nothing about relics/buttons...so I'm no help there but congrats :icon_thumleft:
 

I'm not sure if mine has the same makers marks but I dug one just like it a long time ago and it's a old police uniform button! [emoji106]
 

Yes. Police button. Post Civil War. Nice find. :thumbsup:
 

Nice button
