Button-collectors call the type you found a brass one-piece flatbutton. The backmark on yours has the British spelling of the word color (as colour), so it was manufactured in Britain. Yours has an indented-lettering backmark, which dates it from about 1810 into the 1840s. But, American clothing-makers stopped importing British-made brass one-piece buttons in the late-1830s, so yours was manufactured sometime between 1810 and the early-1830s.

The token is cool. I like finding stuff that can be researched and tied to historic events.

I agree with Stefen, I think it's the teeth portion of a vintage curry comb.

Neat finds
