Dug this cool brass button near downtown Savannah that depicts 2 women playing tennis. Is it a sportsman button or storybook button? I believe it’s Victorian period.

Good ID, my assumption was a little out as I thought circa 1890s, based on the construction & style.

Good observation Crus .. In the world of buttons, that button falls into the category of "figures" and dates to the 1890's.
