Rich Orange Warranted Button Help

[SlashRacer]

Friend of mine found this button in Detroit this weekend.

We believe it’s from the war of 1812.

Any information on it?

That kind of backmark is generally indicative of early-mid 1800s. It looks civilian to me - what makes you think it's associated to the war of 1812?

I imagine the button could have been made/used during the year 1812 but I have a hard time believing that soldiers would wear a button with this particular design.

Not sure it is a war button, but pretty sure it was made during that era.

I agree. It's a civilian button made during the first half of the 19th century.
