A couple of silver and a button

[Buffalo Hunter]

Found my first barber today and a few other goodies to boot. Not a button expert though can anyone tell me anything about it, as far as the backmark go's all I can mack out is what looks like the word extra, it has some other lettering on it that I can't make out, any help would be appreciated.

Can you post a pic of the back of the button. The backmark is either going to be Extra Quality, Extra Rich, Extra Rich Colour or something like that. I would really like to see the back as a couple of us were discussing that type of button just the other day. I beleive it's a British made navy button.

 

[Buffalo Hunter]

Yes I can give me a little while and I'll take a close up of both sides.

Not sure how well you can see these but here is what I can send ya.

Pretty silver !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

Can you see anything other than the extra? Do you have the shank? That would help. I think the backmark is one like Extra Rich Or Extra Strong Gilt. It could be any number of backmarks.

 

[Buffalo Hunter]

No shank and sorry I can't make out the other letters even with my loupe.

Crud. Those would have helped a lot. I think its British made and if it has an Extra Rich backmark would porbably date in the mid 1800's.

Without backmark I wouldn't say either way, can tell ya the site it was dug has buildings that date back to 1849 so it is possible, but then again it just as easy could be WWII.

Not to argue because I appreciate everyone comments and help but if you take a close look at the very outside edge of my button and the one posted on your link,to my eyes mine has what looks like two rings along the edge where the one on the link has one solid edge, see what you think.
