18th Century Scary Face button??

I found this 14mm one piece brass button today on my Dundal site. It was among vent backs and tombacks. I've never seen this before. Can anyone here ID it?

This is a beautiful early cast-brass, one-piece button, I'm surprised there's no backmark though.
My first thought, was that it's a livery button of some type.

Nice find,
Dave

Haven't seen this type before either. Looked at what it might be in the Livery Button link but no match. Good resource for IDs

Looks like a 20th C type to me, it will be tough to find a match.
